Picking parts for my first gaming PC.

[HeartlessN]

Hello there, I'm here today to ask peoples opinions on which parts I should get to play games like Skyrim, Titanfall and GTA V for PC. I was thinking on buying a pre-built one, but I'm not sure.

Have you considered building your own?

Improvements are aftermarket CPU cooler, better PSU, better HDD, includes SSD, better GPU and later model motherboard that has M.2/SATA Express. If it's just for gaming, you don't need an i7.

Note, I didn't include an optical drive because the case I selected doesn't support one, but it does look awesome.

What is your budget, and do you want to overclock?
