Any suggestions? I'm trying to make a gaming computer to play games like GTA5 1080p 55-60fps high settings including monitor and OS. (already have keyboard,mouse and speakers.) My budget is $700-$900 (Sorry, my budget is REALLY unstable at the moment.)
 
Well this should run Gta 5 48-60 it will wary on enviorment but it wont lower than 48.

This would be my suggestion. A little over 900$ though. To bring it down some more, you could take out the cooler.

If you don't mind the extra money, this will play GTA5 on ultra. 😀

Thanks! This is great, with OS & 1080p monitor I was looking at, a tad over budget. Thanks anyway, I'm gonna try to increase my budget a bit.
