First time builder needs help [under 700$]

[bobmakers]

Hello fello forum-goers. I am looking to build a computer for the first time and am looking for a bit of help piecing one together that will run well.

Approximate Purchase Date: Sometime within the next couple of weeks

Budget Range: 600-700 before rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, Surfing the net, watching movies, multitasking such as two of these tasks at once

Parts Not Required: Speakers, mouse, OS

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, amazon

Country: US

Parts Preferences: preferably intel as I've heard they are better for gaming given the budget. Also a red cherry mx keyboard if possible

Overclocking: Maybe if comes with a program to do it like the previous laptop i have owned had a program that came with the APU

SLI or Crossfire: Probably not because i have no idea about it

Monitor Resolution: preferably a nice big size 21" or bigger (i know not really a resolution given)

Additional Comments: preferably to have it cool as possible without the need for water cooling. Being quiet is a plus but not needed

any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

if i took out the monitor, would this run well on a 32" tv?

 

[excella1221]

Yes, but if you took out the monitor we can get you a much better video card then.

Thing is i also need an optical drive and a decent mx cherry red keyboard.

Trying to fit that all in that budget.

Ah, alright.

I think you're better off with the 2gb version of the 7850 then. The extra VRAM will help on that really big TV.

Only if it's 1080p
