I wanted to see if anyone could help me find the right computer rig under $750. I do not plan to OC and i already have a keyboard, and monitor. I plan to use it as a gaming computer.

Alright so before i suggest anything, I would go for a new monitor. For a 750 dollar system, that resolution would not do it justice.

But nevertheless heres my go. I am suggesting parts from microcenter, which has locations in Dallas and Houston. I realize it might be a long drive, but they have the cheapest prices by FAR.

CPU COOLER http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0373900

MOBO http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0387554
**when bundled with 3570k the price is 84.99

MEMORY http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0361035

OPTICS http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0392825

PSU http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0301550

VIDEO CARD http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0356463

HDD http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0334293

CASE http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0386580

That setup will play everything at at least high resolution. The total price is 800 after rebates, which is still a great price for this system. If you really want to keep it to 750 let me know and we can downgrade a couple things.

Well it is a last generation mid range card. It plays most games at 1920x1080 at average FPS but on your monitor it should play games very well with good/great fps.

@riseandshine At his current budget, a $299 card would be pushing it. Perhaps if the price goes down by january he could squeeze it in. But by next january another generation of cards could have come out.
