Build around 600-700$

[triangulum]

I could use some help picking parts, could somebody please recommend a build based on my preferences?


Budget Range: $600-$700

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Microsoft word, learn programming.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Do you need to buy OS: No


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I would prefer newegg but it doesn't matter.

Location: U.S.A.

Parts Preferences: None really what ever you think is best.

Overclocking: Possibly.

SLI or Crossfire: Yes.

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920 by 1080

Additional Comments: I will be playing games like far cry 3, tf2, and planet side 2. Other than that the resolution isn't that important do what you think is best.

Why I Am Upgrading: New experience and I need a new computer so I figure I'll build it myself.
Thanks in advance.

Even though 8GB is more than enough for games, i put inside 16GB because the Motherboard does not allow for more than 2 sticks of ram(DIMMs)

of course this does not allow for SLI/CFX and no OCing so i had to try to get the best out of the GPU to allow it to play for a while.

Also FX 6300 can also be the base of the build if you are looking to get a cheaper/better GPU build

in that budget bouldbox's build is the best
if you really want overlocking and dual graphics option you need spend more
