First Build Ever

[BubbaGump14]

Hello all. I am trying a computer build for mostly gaming. I have never done this before and want to know what you think of what I put together. I would like to play most games on the highest or near highest settings. All opinions are appreciated as I very well could have missed something basic. Anyway to cut cost without sacrificing too much would be appreciated as well. Thanks!

quite simply you are not going to be able to play all games at the highest settings and still have the fps high enough to be playable at the $1000 price point. at this price level you will be able to get "decent" gaming performance on "good to high" settings. some games (like crysis 3) will completely kill the system though.

if you want to discuss pc tech and what may work for you you can join the freenode.net webchat room i have running tonight (starting now at 9pm est channel "#ssddx" i have hosted for someone else with build questions) and listen in or we could start one up at another time. if you prefer we can go back and forth on here but it is much easier to explain things in real time instead of via forum delay.

you need to have the following info handy:

absolute maximum budget
target budget
games you want to play
do you need perepherals or do you already have some (i saw you threw in some with the pcpartpicker build)
