Hello, I'm not new to the whole building a PC deal. I just want to see other builds that could help me decide better! I play BF4, CSGO, maybe Minecraft, and might get the Witcher 3.

Budget: $800
Needs to include Optical Drive + Win7 (No I'm not Pirating or getting from G2A, etc.)

here is a great gaming PC that is well within budget and includes windows, why windows 7?

ask any questions. If you want a better CPU go for the i5 4460 but this CPU will game perfectly well.

consider the r9 390 but it will tax yor electric bill and you will want a 650 watt PSU for that, this PSU will work with a 390 but it is pushing it.
