Building first gaming computer (800-950)

[renef]

Hello I'am looking to build a gaming computer for around $950 or less that runs almost every game on high to ultra settings. No monitor, mouse, keyboard, or OS required. Any ideas??

Check out my $850 build here:

Swap the 7870 for the 7950 (+$70)

Total: $915

You're pretty much set. The 7950 will run most games at max settings @ 1080P. If you don't feel like that's enough overclock it to 1GHZ and you're definitely set. THe i5 3570K can also be overclocked, if you plan to I would get the Hyper 212 Evo:
