Help me building my first computer? :3

[hunteronerousbeast93]

I was looking into building computer than can play games like minecraft, battlefield and call of duty games. I have budget of $3000 but would rather not spend that much or at least be spending it correctly.

I might also want to play world of warcraft mmo type games later on.

That was the most confusing thing I have ever read before. I truly don't understand anything being told/said in the other post. Only thing I picked up was AMD sucks for gaming and Intel is the boss?

This build will be using two graphics cards in SLI which will be strong enough to run games for the next 3-4 years well at 1080p.

SSD: For OS/Applications/Games
Hard Drive: Data/Games

The h80i will come with paste, but the extra will be if there is an issue. You can also get an h100i which is less visible inside the case if you care for looks.

You can always choose your own case too that fits your style. That is a m-atx board, but it will fit in most atx cases too.

If you have any questions just ask.

why not just buy one? You don't seem like you have enough knowledge to be building anything fancy anyway.

I wouldn't think putting the components would be very hard. I was just wondering what could computer would be for gaming. I was just tired of the consoles and the crap they keep going to the gamers.

Well, building a PC is not hard at all, it's a fantastic learning experience if anything! There are thousands of guides online too! It's cheaper, you get better parts, and you feel good about it afterwards!
