Gaming Pc Build ~$1200

[Julian Rodriguez]

I'm going to buy a gaming pc soon and was wondering what your opinions were for a build in my price range. I want to spend no more than $1200 USD and as little as possible for playing games like BF4, Crysis, Witcher, and etc at 1080p at high settings.

I need everything, including keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Although I already have the OS and Optical Drive. I do not plan to use an SSD, but I do plan to overclock.

There are no Microcenters, or Fry's in my area.

Thank you for your time and contribution.

Given the prices of SSDs I'd suggest doing it now and save you the trouble of having to reinstall OS on SSD later. Also, at $1200 you can still squeeze it in for 1080p gaming.
