Hi Guys,

This post is regarding a build i will be making within the next month or so, and i thought i would ask the community for some advice (2nd build.) This build is strictly for rpgs, such as skyrim, that can handle high-ultra settings, with a fair share of mods. Im planning on having this rig be built off of a 4690k, as i see no point in an i7.

The build would have to include all of the basics, including a monitor, speakers, and OS (windows 8) I could go FX6300, as it is a money saver, but if possible a 4690k, as it has all the fundamentals of a reliable powerful CPU. A 2ms monitor would be preffered, 60hz would even work for this one. Budget is 1000-1200$.... Thanks in advance guys and have a great night
