Best Possible $700 Gaming Pc

[DinoKiller129]

I will be buying most parts on ebay to get the best deals and is g2a $30 windows legit? or should I get the $70 Microsoft student pro?
I will be playing games from garry's mod to battlefield hardline, I would like to play most of the games I play at (close to) max settings 60 fps and for it to last maybe 5 years or so.
Also, is the AMD 8000e series good? or should I get an I5.
Probably will not be doing any processor intensive things like video editing or those kinds of things.
Thanks

It's too late in the game to bother with Windows 8. 10 officially arrives at the end of July. You can use the technical preview version until October then you need to buy a key. Haswell i3 is the way to go for straight gaming.
