I am looking to build a gaming computer. My target budget is around $800. I do not need peripherals or os. I don't have a hardcore amd or nvidia preference but the stigma seems to favor nvidia so I would lean towards that.
I know that amd is coming out with some new CPUs, and this is not a time sensitive build I would be willing to wait around a month for a better deal.
I am looking for a pc that can play current games at high and ultra and last a few years of high - mid settings gaming. I don't necessarily need to build it with upgrades In mind, but I want it to have some longetivety. An ssd would be nice because this is for gaming it would make load times on games faster correct?

Any help with the build would be greatly appreciated!!

I could reconfigure with a WIFI capable ITX board, but that changes everything and adds about $100 since I also have to change the case and PSU. I could mitigate some of that by removing overclocking features and/or dropping the CPU down to an i5.

Alternatively you could buy a separate WIFI adapter, either USB or PCIE, and that will probably cost $25-40 for a good one.

thanks a lot! I really like this build,

2 things:
1. I am going to ask friends opinions and can I ask you about what they suggest?
2. Do these parts include wifi? I live in a house with 3-4 other people constantly streaming video, so a strong wifi card is important because I intend to do a lot of online gaming and want to make the most of the wifi I get

That PSU is a really poor choice. It's about quality, not the wattage number. The FSP Hydro X 450 is a much better option http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104229
