What's a good $700 Gaming PC Build? I would be playing games like CS:GO, Call Of Duty, ETC

My current PC isn't really good for games, so I'm looking for a gaming PC, but I have a Budget of $700... What's a good build for that price range?

700$ with or without screen ?

The closest concurrent graphic card for this price is the GTX 960 4GB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-I7Nm3a1Nc

The closest concurrent for the CPU is the AMD FX-8320: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezAu2sWVd1o

To conclude, for the cpu if you are going to do some videos rendering picture editing than the AMD FX-8320 would be more suitable for you: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dZjsqs

I would recommend for pure gaming to stay with the first partlist above. Happy gaming cheers.

don't think that the r9 380X is worth that much more.
If you want more storage could you also go for this instead of the ssd,

for an even cheaper cpu cooler could you also opt for this one,

the 6500 does come with a stock cooler,but i think that an aftermarket cooler will be better for maintaining turbo speeds for a longer while.The "Z"motherboard will also be able to make all cores run at max turbo,this gives extra heat.

Wouldn't recommend that PSU if your planning on overclocking or turning your pc into a absolute overkill.

Neither of those two things is the point of this build,the only thing to really overclock is the gpu and that should be fine.With the "Z" motherboard could he make all cores run at max turbo,which is a kind of overclocking,but that should be fine too.Added the cooler to keep temps in check.
For these kind of parts and purposes is the 550watt enough and the quality of the psu decent enough too.Quality is alot better than the 500watt EVGA from the first build.Heck,it's even in tier one here.
The third build just makes odd choices largely to get that expensive r9 380X in which as i said (imo) isn't worth the extra money.Same goes for the cpu cooler or psu (not as good as well,wattage is certainly not needed).Choice for the hdd,motherboard aren't as good too,well imo not.

I see that my build has gone over budget,but look for similar parts in the pcpartpicker.The gpu is more expensive now,something else to get it under budget again,.

Go for this system, even if you want OC ... there is no any problem, my advice is to get SSD for your system
I can too suggest to stick with 2666Mhz ram
