Alright after asking a bunch of questions and having a few threads about building a computer I took info from everything and made a build using the pcpartpicker. I was wondering if the build would be able to run BF3 on medium / high and run GTA4 on medium.
Also this include the OEM for windows 8 for anyone else viewing this
If anyone has any advice or recommendations to cut the cost a bit that would greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for all your help!
