I Need Help Making a Gaming Computer

[sarju patel]

Hello guys, I live in the U.S and I want to make a gaming PC for the max budget of $800. I want to beable to use emulators up to gamecube emulators. I also want to edit some videos with Pinnacle Studios 14 and WMM.
My only requirements is that the build must have 8 gb of ram, a 1 tb hardrive, and a very good graphics card and cpu. I also want the case and OS included in the build. If you have any questions, email me at

The DVD Burner will actually come free on Newegg with the case, so this build skates in at about $15 under the $800 mark. The 7870 should give you good quality gaming performance in most games.
