Hey guys, so I was searching around on newegg.com and some other sites looking for full built pc's for gaming. I have a budget of $705.00 USD. I decided that it would be cheaper to build my own. I was wondering if someone can help me get OK parts to build a gaming computer within that budget. I know im asking a lot, but I need some help. Thanks for your time!

With that budget you should go with an AMD build,something like the FX 6300 and getting a better GPU.

Thanks guys for the tips! And nope I don't need an OS. I already got a Windows 7 and 8 disc already so I can decide for which ever one I want to use.

Something like this would be good for you. I'm quite new to PC building myself! I would recommend you stay with AMD with that budget. Also I've gone for the 270x because it's a pretty good GPU that should max some games with a decent FPS.

Yes, I thought the 270x was going to be more expensive so I stayed with 500gb. Maybe you should try and invest in an SSD for your OS.

I was going to buy a SSD in January once I get the money I am waiting on from my grandpa's will, and once I do I was going to probably get a SSD.

Ok, you'll want to install your OS on the SSD. I'm not too sure whether you can transfer the OS from a hard drive to an SSD but I'm sure it is possible.

Alright! And even if I can't I have 6 Windows 8 Discs, and 9 Windows 7. My parents do these storage auctions and they bought a locker that had 30 of each so they gave me these to use/sell once i'm done with my computer.
