Alright so previously I figured I'd upgrade my PC that I have now, but I'm to the point where I can simply build a PC with a budget of 1300$. I'm going to be using this primarily for gaming I want to be able to run the newest games on high/ultra setting and be able to get playable fps (hopefully 60+) I have a little bit of an idea of what I'm doing, but I'm looking for suggestions of what the best build would be for 1300$.

I also saw another thread with the same kinda idea for 1250$, and someone suggested this build http://pcpartpicker.com/list/jw63Cy I also saw this build as well which is very similar http://pcpartpicker.com/user/nicksalegend/saved/#view=YsRj4D would either of these be a good build or do you have another suggestion? Let me know thanks so much for your help!

Nothing really wrong with your build but you have an extended atx board I switched it if that was an accident. Added faster and cheaper memory, and a bit cheaper case to get you under budget

I'm of the opinion an i7-6700k is inappropriately budgeted in a $1300 gaming build, and shouldn't be in a gaming build until a higher budget ($1750+), and that a $1300 build would either be as a base, to which you'd be upgrading the system after it. At $1300, it represents 27% of the budget, which is drastically high.

I do plan on playing multiple games so if upgrading the ssd and downgrading the cpu might be worth it since the cpu may have be a little extreme for what I'm currently thinking anyone else have any suggestions?
