Decent gaming build.

[Cody GFX]

I managed to find out that I could make a decent gaming build with a budget of 750 usd. Can anyone of you tech whiz provides a list of required components according to the budget? I will consult to the computer dealer with the given list. Thanks in advance for your time.

Also, I'm looking for a decent monitor which goes with the build. 😉

- I5 4690k CPU
- AsRock Extreme4 MB
- 2x4GB of cheapest ram
- GTX 960-970 GPU depending on budget
- Cheapest 120GB SSD for OS and programs
- WD Caviar Blue 1 TB for storage
- 550-600w Seasonic PSU

if you have money to spare after this, get a CM 212 CPU cooler

This highly depends if you need a Windows copy or not? With a Windows copy you'll get this out of 750.

If I deduct the cost of Windows 8, should I go for GTX 780?

You're best off with this graphics card:

Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card ($310.19 @ Amazon)
Total: $310.19

Total it would cost you a bit over 750. There is no DVD drive in the build, not many people use it anymore anyways. Do you feel you need it in your build?

I'll go with GTX 970 then. I hardly use the DVD drive. Thanks!
