Which Computer should I buy?

[fexal]

I want a gaming computer with 660 nvidia graphics card (I can upgrade to this) and Intel Core i7-3770K I have 720$ newegg store credit so it must be from new egg and a couple hundred also so I was wondering which gaming computer should I buy I really need one that can handle mondern games such as call of duty black ops 2, Skyrim, Planet Side 2 so if you could help me get this best computer with using the least amount of cash that would be great

you don't need a i7 'k' series processor if you are only going to game on this system and not planning on overclocking it...

Can you please clarify your budget " and a couple hundred " has thrown me for a loop.
Do you need an OS, Monitor, Mouse + keyboard ?

Here's a build around your price range with the 'couple hundred' mixed in.
This will be able to play all games out right now on high, you have the potential to OC your GPU and CPU to keep up with the highest systems, if you're into that.
I chose the 7950 instead of a 660ti because It's the best price / performance card out atm.
You get an extra 1GB of ram and the OCing power of a god within a few dollars.

If you wanted to see the price difference. Whether it's worth the $10 is up to you. I'd link some benchmarks but my net is out to my house and fiddling around on my phone is tedious.

$682.92 will be spend on Newegg...

 

[fexal]

How is that 682$
it says 861$
but this is what I am looking for near my price range

i sum up all the components that you will be buying from Newegg so it will be $682 excluding the CPU and ODD

 

[fexal]

is there a way on pc part picker to change where you buy it from

 

[TimeLass]

is there a way on pc part picker to change where you buy it from

yes below the configurations there's a sentence (Using your selected merchants and only including nearby in-store pickup prices)
click on that and tick only Newegg and its done...

Is it cheap to hire someone to build this computer or is it easy to build by yourself

i would choose to build by myself... it's easy and fun as long as you do it carefully and follow the instructions or guides on youtube...

 

[fexal]

that motherboard you put on pc part pick doesnt support graphics cards Im pretty sure

are all these parts compatible?

We can't see that, you need to post the permalink. Building it yourself is cheaper and fairly simple although maybe you can try to get a friend who has built one before to help you.

 

[fexal]

I dont know anybody that has built a computer before

Can you see this?

Yeah... Your build has a couple of problems:
1. An i7-3770k will give you NO performance increase compared to an i5-3570. The only difference is hyperthreading which games cannot utilize
2. You do not need a "k" processor since you are not overclocking, save a little money by getting the normal, locked processor. Furthermore, you would have needed to get a Z77 motherboard to overclock
3. You chose 1 stick of memory, if you get 2x4 memory, you can run it in dual channel, which will be faster

EDIT: I have no idea why I put the k processor up there, get the i5-3470, my mistake

 

[fexal]

a few questions isnt nvidia 660 better then radeon 7950 and are you sure i5 is the same as i7 because a lot of people told me i7 is better and that I should get i7 and if I did get nvidia would it work with that motherboard?

if I want i7 would this be a good build (maybe change of radeon and nvidia)

Perfomance wise, hd7950 > gtx 660... Even hd7870 xt > gtx 660...amd radeon's gpu are gives better perfomance for the price... As for nvidia... if you loves PhysX and TXAA then go for it... And no an core i7 CPU will not give you a lot of perfomance gain in gaming but it will definitely help out much if you're going to do some video editing/graphic design... Get an core i5 CPU and spend more on GPU if you're really into gaming... And also i dont really understand what do you mean by that motherboard does not support graphic cards...
