Hello there,
I'm a first time builder and I'm looking at trying to build my first serious gaming rig. I could really use some advice as I'm not really quite sure what I should be getting at my price level.

Approximate Purchase Date: about a month

Budget Range: 700-800

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming heavy, and surfing the internet

Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg is my favorite site but I will use other sites if the prices are better.

Country: USA

Parts Preferences: No Prefrence

Overclocking: Maybe?

SLI or Crossfire: Maybe?

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: I play alot of mmo's so if there is a way to increase performance at this price level I would be all for it.
And I'm looking to play these games (Tera, and Guildwars 2)

Thank you!

If you want to keep it in budget I'd change it this way:

Here you go:

Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 - $59.99
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650 - $89.99
Motherboard: Asrock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3 - $121.99
CPU: 3.30GHz Intel Core i3-2120 - $127.99
RAM: 8GB Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 8GB 1333MHz - $42.99
HD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB - $79.99
Optical: Lite On Bulk DVD Burner - $17.99
Video Card: Power Color Radeon HD 7850 - $249.99

Total: $790.92

Add a Windows license and it comes in around just under $900.
