I really need a good gaming pc, my budget is about $700-$800 with peripherals (Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse). I mostly use this PC for Minecraft, however I will use this for some shooting games like TeamFortress2, BattleField 4 and CallOfDuty. On Minecraft I would like at least 150 fps on Vanilla and 60 stable fps with mod packs with 250 mods. On the shooting game, I would also like atleast 40 stable fps
Also, all the parts in my custom pc I NEED are: Windows 7, Intel Core i5 Processor and NVIDIA 760 Card :) That's it.
Now, that i've told you everything about the PC, could you please build me a gaming PC thats gets at least a stable 60 fps on Minecraft with about 250 mods :)
Thanks :)
Please reply ASAP :)

Minecraft there really aren't any benchmarks. Also 250 mods give us no description or idea, since mods can take nothing or can take significant amount of resources. Also the link I gave you in my first post explains the amount of fps you can achieve with that card. There may be differences due to different cpu, RAM, Motherboard, cables, monitor, etc...
So we say you have a 500-600 dollar budget for a pc with the cost of peripherals and OS are around 150-200. This is pretty hard to get an i5 and Windows 7 in there. We also need to know where you live to efficiently give you pricing. I am guessing United States. You don't have to have a GTX 760 btw. The R9-280 is a much better option in my opinion than a GTX 760 since it is at a cheaper price and gets better fps in a lot of games. Plus you get 3 free AAA games or indie bundles. Here is the benchmarks to show you: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1332?vs=1038

I also want to point out that you may not get ultra or high with 60 fps or the best monitor, since you have a limited budget build. This build should play minecraft and most other games you want to play.

Here is what I got for you: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rJFzCJ

Here is a code to but Windows 7 from Newegg for 79.99: EMCWWHG24

Whats left is basically $100 dollars for a monitor, which I can say you can get this one (Dell E2414HR) from Best Buy for about $100 on Black Friday.

Total Budget is right under $800.
 
I haven't used either monitor, so that is up to you. But I will say both monitors will limit you to 60 fps (refresh rate will be your max amount of fps) I am unsure about the mods and minecraft part. I can't say for sure.

I think that this is a better configuration. Any parts you have already can be put into the GPU or an SSD.
 
Just saying, when you guys give me a part list for the PC, could you tell me about how many frames I would get on Minecraft Vanilla and Minecraft Modded with about 250 mod
I'd also appreciate it if you could tell me how many frames I would get on high graphics games like COD and Battlefield 4 Thanks :)
