Hello, I've decided I want to build my own gaming PC but my knowledge on computers is very weak. My intention is to maximize performance for a fixed cost and be able to play games like DIABLO 3, STARCRAFT 2, THE SECRET WORLD, on high settings. I don't play demanding games like BATTLEFIELD 3, but I would like to have that option for the future. I'm more concerned on performance than graphics if anything, as well as durability.
I initially wanted to spend 800-900$ but rounding up it will most likely be at least 1K (not including peripherals). I am willing to spend at most $1300 if it's necessary, but if there is anyway to minimize the cost that'd be great. I'm also confused as to which graphic card will be good enough for me between 650 ti, 660, 660 ti, or 670. I think 670 is too costly for me and my gaming isn't intense enough for that kind of card.
If I am missing any important computer parts please let me know, along with any suggestions or changes. I apologize if my list/format is sloppy.
