I'm looking for some suggestions on a PC build, I'm new to this but I've done my research. I'm looking for something that can run Battlefield, DayZ, Forest, Rust, Bioshock, Counter Strike, Minecraft and Skyrim-Fallout on Med-High Settings. I prefer AMD and GeForce brand but otherwise Intel is fine as well. I'm also looking for opinions on whether or not I should get a CPU cooler and would like some suggestions. I would like the parts to be upgradable later on if you know what I mean answer this question.
