Looking for a gaming pc under $430. I really want a 750 ti in this build to play most games on 1080p at steady framerates (30-45 fps if possible). I will most likely play CoD, skyrim, battlefield, rpgs, and some other demanding games ( can I play these games from high to medium settings with the 750 ti?). Can someone suggest a build that stays to the price for more than a couple days? Last build I was suggested went up $70 within two days... If everyone could agree on a single comment that would be great. Have a great weekend! Cheers!

P.S. I already have an OS!

I forgot to mention that I already had an OS, so I need suggestions WITHOUT an OS included in the price. Btw, what power supply would you recommend, I would prefer something a little more than 380+ Watts?

This is a good build with s really good processor, especially for the price. Truly I would save up $20 more to get a better motherboard but other than that it is a pretty decent build.

Also silverbears amd build is pretty good, I would recommend either his or this one for the price.
