Im looking for a beast gaming desktop that will last be 2 to 3 years. I will be looking for upgrades in the near future. I want to be able to run most games in 1080p with max settings. I want to be able to stream. The games that I'm looking to play are Diablo 3, Battlefield 3 and 4, Titan Fall, League of Legends and Rust are the main game I will be playing. I have a monitor and a case already, but the case I will be including the price and the monitor I have atm. Keep the price of the case in mind since it will be added to the total of the parts built. I will also need a os and a op. Ihttp://www.bestbuy.com/site/crafted-series-guardian-921...

nashdes001, you just paid $129 extra dollars for overclocking. Is it worth it? No it is not.

Here, for the same exact price, I traded overclocking for a GTX770 and a 120GB ssd. The result is a much faster PC and a WAY better gaming system.
