$700 Gaming PC

[thegamersite1]

I want to build a gaming PC that the items together reach from 600-800. I have never build a PC and i would love to. I have been searching to know more about what computer parts are worth to buy it and live long. I had choose some computer parts and i want to share it with you so you can give me some tips and tell me if i need to change something or leave it like that.

Where do I want to buy the computer parts - Newegg

Do i want to buy a monitor - Maybe

Overclocking - I don't have any idea

Crossfire - Yes

What kind of PC do i want to build - I want to build a gaming PC that can play upcoming games, but not in really high quality. I also want the PC to be fast while rendering videos on Sony Vegas, fast while watching movies, etc.

I don't want to exceed from 800 or below than 600.

You don't need the stock cooler nor that raidmax psu, it's not a good psu, also you can't SLI the 650 gtx, it doesn't have a sli bridge, i'd get a much better card like the 7870XT.

That PSU is crap. Get a 500w PSU from Antec, XFX, Corsair, or Seasonic.

The GPU you have will play games on lowest settings only. You want at least an hd 7850 for new and upcoming games at more than medium settings.

Yep. Djangoringo just built what is probably the best possible option for your budget.

I like your choices, but i would like a SSD more than a HDD. Also, isn't that power supply very little for all the other part. In my opinion, will everything add together had a total of more than 600w.

I change the 7870 for the 7770 2GB and i change the power supply for this one -- Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W Continuous @40°C,80 PLUS Certified, Single 12V

Why will you downgrade the most essential part that counts for gaming ?
The xfx is a high quality psu, it will do for any high end single card(single gpu), it has more quality than the rosewill green, you don't need 620W for it, what counts is the amps and quality of the psu than the wattage itself.
If you have already a hdd, get a 128GB ssd instead of the hdd, it still fits in the 800$ budget, get the kingston hyperx 3k 120GB : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820239045

If you change the 7870 for a 7770 you will be losing ALOT of gaming power.
