Hey guys. So i've been a console player for about two years now , and I would really like to switch to pc. I've been wanting to built my own gaming desktop , but i don't know anything about computers. I would like to run games like BF3 and Far Cry 3 on ultra , without trouble. I need you guys to help me select the parts of the computer. My budget is of $700 maybe $750 , i know its a little tight , but its all I have.
Thanks

theres no one answer to that i can suggest things that i would buy but thats about all i can do theres quite a few options out there but here would be a good gaming rig "I" might consider in your situation:
(this is loosly put)
Amd: fx 4 core
Asus: am3 board thats core 6 or 8 core compatable (in case of upgrades)
Corsair power supply: 750watt (need 750watt and over for bigger graphics cards)
corsair vengance ram modules (good bang for buck)
asus radeon 7850
Corsair 400r case

all of that would be very cheap and wouldnt blow the budget you have set and would play any game ,also it would be asthecicaly pleasing and quite powerful.
