Total cost: $934.59

So there it is! and here's my questions!

A few games i plan on playing are

Guild wars 2

League of legends

Diablo 3

Far cry 3

So will this build allow me to at least play these games??

If so will i be able to play med-high settings with around 40-60 fps??

Also will this build allow me to stream with an HD PVR wil minimal fps loss?

Lastly and probably the most important question will all of these parts work together?

Thank you for reading this and taking the time to reply!

((Ps if there is a certain post where this is suppossed to be let me know!!))

Everything should work perfectly fine together. You should be able to play any of those games, too. They're pretty low requirement games, with the exception of Far Cry 2. Not sure about that.

Thank you very much I've been quite concerned about the parts due to the fact that this is my first pc build I'll throw some rep your way for the first comment!

For processor I would go i5 3570k but you are going to need a aftermarket fan to overcloack at the best here- [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You should mention what resolution your monitor is going to be, the resolution really matters when it comes to whether or not the frames will be high

Everything is compatible and [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] It's okay for sounding like a noob. Everyone has to start somewhere:)
Edit- you can pick whatever you want from those benchmarks

Is there a microcenter by where you live? They have the best deals anywhere. I want to know so I could help you with your build and get you to AT LEAST 80 fps on top tier games with a 1080p monitor
