700$ Gaming Desktop

[DarkDefault]

I'm a first time computer builder with a budget of $700. I already have a keyboard, mouse, windows os, and a monitor so I do not need any of those. What ever you think is the best, I would love to hear it! The recommended settings on the game I wish to play on this computer is :

Processor:Intel Core i5-750, 2.67 GHz / AMD Phenom II X4 965, 3.4 GHz
Memory:4 GB RAM
Graphics:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 / AMD Radeon HD 6950 or better with 768 MB+ of VRAM (DirectX 11 Compatible)
Hard Drive Space:10 GB

So if it could do that, that would be AWESOME!
Again, thank you for helping me on this!

Is a build that I just made for someone that needed a build under $500. It will play that game and save you some money.

What specific version of Windows do you have?

I would be running windows 7.


Thanks for the replies!

What specific version of Windows 7...it is important to know if it is Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate or whatever. And we need to know if it is a 32 bit or 64 bit operating system. That information will determine the maximum RAM supported by your operating system, and let us know if there is a point in putting more than 4 GB or RAM in the system.

I know this is almost $100 over your budget but well worth the better GPU.
