I am looking to build a nice pc that is able to handle some mild gaming such as Borderlands 2 and able to run engineering software such as autocad and revit.

I have a budget around $600 to $700.

I do not need to buy a monitor.

Any suggestions for items to get would be appreciated.

Intel Core i5 3470
Asrock 7ZZ Extreme
8Gb Corsair Vengeance
1Tb HDD
7870 XFX GDDR5
A nice case with a 500W Psu


That should handle all the games you are asking for at high settings. So it should do well :)

You can go for a AMD 8350 which costs less then I5 and is better then it in gaming and similiar in rendering,also an ASUS
GeForce GTX 660 2GB GDDR5 GTX660-DC2T-2GD5 which beats the XFX and also GIGABYTE
GA-990XA-UD3 (rev. 3.0) with KINGSTON
8GB (2x4GB) 1866MHz DDR3 Special Edition KHX18C9X3K2/8X with a good cooler like a COOLER MASTER
Hyper 412 Slim RR-H412-16PK-R1 which is quiet but i dont reccomend alot of OC on the proccesor,also the power supply like a 700W Raidmax RX-700AC, 80PLUS Bronze/PFC/12cmFan/Andyson Buy your own choice of an sound card and HDD or SDD and you got a good,very good PC.
