Windows license is gonna be around $90 and Microsoft office license is another $115. Then you´re down to a budget when it becomes really hard to get you a gaming rig that will give you stable fps in GTA V.

Here´s my suggestion :

Above rig will be fast and play all newer games in high settings. A few titles like GTA V wants more vram, and you may benefit from upgrading to a 960 4 GB or a GTX 970 instead. But it´s going to break your budget with a bit

I Have Microsoft on my older Dell XPS 420 (will no longer be using it) It's Microsoft Office 2007, I have researched some info on transferring it but it seems that you have to meet certain requirements to get it to be usable. Is there a recommended procedure you know of for transferring it onto the new PC?
Then i could upgrade my GPU

Its highly likely to be a OEM version of microsoft office 2007. If thats the case, you can not transfer it unless the mobo is identical.

You are correct, my version of Microsoft windows is OEM. I will have to borrow a friends laptop when i use Microsoft for the time being. Now that my budget has an extra $114 do you recommend a CPU cooler as the other AMD option did as well as a 960 4gb.

Im not sure on the advantages and disadvantages of AMD vs Intel CPU other than reading about higher power consumptions with AMD. So im not sure which setup to go with.

With the extra money, I´d highly suggest to get the nVidia GTX 970 instead. It´s priced around $295 and is the king of 1080p gaming. You´d be playing new games in high/ultra with steady frames.

Ok so to clear things up, Sorry for all the questions but would i need any extra fans or cooling of any sort?
Also Could you relist a recommended build for my needs through the PC part picker? Just so i could have all the prices together with a 970.

It would look like this. A few bucks over budget, but you´d be getting some more quality units in this mix, and most importantly, you´d be gaming all titles without hiccup - current and games to come in the next 3-4 years.

Thanks for all your help. While I was on PC part picker I found out I can get a i5-4690k for only $5 bucks more than the i5-4460 with in-store pick up. If I go that route, would you recommend any changes to the current build?

NB. It´s a very good deal if you can get i5-4690K for just 5 bucks more.

Alright its comes out to about $852, so just over $100 more than my $750 budget. At the same time I feel the added benefits will definitely make it worth while in the long run. Thanks again for the help!

I agree. You have an extremely good price/performance ratio in this build. Personally I´d like to throw another 4000 bucks at it but the actual performance improvement would be small. Good luck and enjoy ~
