$800 Gaming PC

[spikyturtle87]

So i was looking through the forums at budget gaming PCs and I was wondering if you could help me build a system that could play BF3/4, Dishonored, and Borderlands 2 at a decent framerate for under $800. I am not looking for a pre-built PC because I want to learn how to build a computer. I would prefer to get all of the components from Newegg or Amazon and I don't care if the CPU is AMD or Intel.

Thanks

What all exactly do you need for a Pc? Monitor, Mouse/keyboard, OS, or just the case and components?

Obviously there is no OS included and no Monitor, Keyboard/Mouse etc. I'm sure someone can make an adjusted build if these are necessary.

:edit: Forgot you wanted just one merchant, so I used Amazon and Newegg simply to save money where possible.

Very similar to ones that have already been posted. Lacking a cooler, because you can pick that up later, but it has a good quality Psu, one of the highest stock clocked 760's out there, and a motherboard that supports overclocking. Nice case for a good price, and obligatory standard HDD and optical drive.

Later on, you'll want to buy a cooler(Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo) so you can overclock, but again, that's not necessary immediately.
