Best Gaming PC Under $800

[Good_dog]

Hi, I'm very new here and very inexperienced in Gaming computers, I want to buy a pre-built one under $800, but looking at it, it seems hard to find. My cousin's boyfriend has offered to help me build one due to his knowledge of building them, so building one really isn't that big of a hassle but it'd take time because I rarely get to speak to my cousin. I'm going to cut to the chase and say I play a lot of rpg, and fps games, including Skyrim, Diablo 3, far cry 3, call of duty, etc. My budget is $800 but I would enjoy, not saying I will, staying in the range of $600. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Side note: not sure how well this fits in but for graphics card options I would like to go with GTX 760 or GTX 770, but as I said I'm very inexperienced so please take the wheel and stear me to the right build.

Very appreciated,
Good_dog

You can overclock the g3258 to reach pretty reasonably high performance for the price, but I would recommend the first build. Btw I would definitely not get a gtx 760, pick up a r9 290 or 280x, it will be worth the price, especially the r9 290. Refer to my build if you want suggestions for another parts with that gpu.

OK so I found out that my laptop can play h1z1 and probably the new GTA 5 PC game coming out but the problem is it still runs laggy and slow even on lowest setting its an HP envy sleekbook 6-1129 wm . I need to update something so it can run better does it need more memory or better graphics card and it overhears fast.
