Gaming rig: budget of 800

[cedric125]

im building my first ever computer and i have a tight locked budget at 800$, im under some unusual circumstances which forces me to buy at least 400$ worth from best buy, and the rest from newegg or another site. i have most of it picked out:

what games will you be playing

mostly skyrim, league of legends, dishonored, maybe assassins creed, but definitely and surely skyrim

You're good to go. High PSU will work well the graphic card. With 8GB RAM and a powerful processor you should have no problem. My graphic card is HD 6770 (lower than the one you're getting) and I'm able to play the following games flawlessly:

- Batman Arkham City
- Transformers Fall of Cybertron
- Darksiders II
- Assassin's Creed Revelations

Currently downloading and will test:
- Assassin's Creed III
- Hitman Absolution

thank you but the point is that im missing a motherboard. it can only be a maximum of 70$, but i dont want it to be limited, i also wouldnt mind cutting down on both the motherboard and gpu by only a bit because i will most likely get a new gpu in a couple months...that being said, i would need a mobo at around 90$ and a gpu around 150$

Don't buy from best buy, go to Pcpartpicker.com, save about $25-75 and then get a 7870.

For the motherboard, get this, http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z77ag41
It's $60

Take a look at the mobo Malenskii suggested. It'll serve the purpose since you're planning to upgrade after xmas. As for the graphics card, maybe this will come within budget. It's a solid card for gaming even with 1GB:
