I have an 8 year old pc and love gaming. I play WoW and will be playing FF XIV when it comes out in a couple weeks. Looking for a decent ranged 40-50 FPS on medium settings for around $800. If possible though I would like room for expansion so an unlocked cpu is a must and a motherboard capable of holding multiple graphics cards I run 2 monitors also. Please help me everytime I try and put something together it is always around 300 over budget. One last thing if possible I would like to try and make this an AMD build just to prove that AMD can be a contender. In advance thanks for all the help.

you did not say which parts do you need ...

what do you want to be included under the 800$ ? OS ? DVD ? HD ? CASE ? POWER ?
