$1300-$1500 pc build it for me please

[RandomTroll]

$1300-$1500 is my budget, im looking to go Intel and Nvidia I also need windows 7 and a SSD, this is mainly a gaming rig and i havnt did a build before.. Can someone build me a PC with my needs that will be the best for the buck while going with ONE graphics card and Intel and Nvidia. I am not planning on overclocking so like a faster gpu like a stock SC version n stuff would be best imo.

Any additional things perhaps like fans n stuff im not to sure just a full build with windows 7, I dont need keyboard mouse monitor or anything like that, I will be playing games like BF3 and such.

Thanks! let me know

Here's a build that I would recommend. BF3 - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-560-benchmark-review,3112-8.html with your non 1920x1080 you should be able to up the AA to 4xAA with decent frame rates; my best guess. Since OC'ing is almost free then IMO I'd leave my options open with a 'K' SB. Typically, on HD monitors I typically recommend a minimum of GTX 570 if not GTX 560 in SLI.

A lot can be done to change the price on this build as well, but I believe it to be a solid BF3 build and at the resolution you are playing at now (recommend upgrading in the future) you will be running BF3 easily on ultra.

A few things that can be change are:

1) switch 2500 cpu for 2500k. You said you did not care about OC so the 2500 should work fine.
2) A cheaper case. I prefer this one because it is a full-tower case that gives plenty of airflow inside to keep everything cool. Allows for easy future upgrades as well.
3) The SSD: The one I have chosen is only 60gb. If you feel you need more room optimize by lowering the case costs honestly.
4) The cpu cooler i recommended I have used for at least a year now and it has preformed beautifully for me on an I7-2600k OC. I know you are not an OC'er but the stock fans the 2500 comes with are crap in my opinion!

monitors are cheap enough now.you can find a good asus or accer 1080p under $160.save a little more and grab a 7950+1080p monitor.that will improve your experience a lot
