You want atleast a 7770 for medium-ish settings in modern games.

DO NOT get a raidmax PSU. They are unreliable and awful. Stick with Antec, XFX, Seasonic, Corsair.

You're going to have trouble hitting any high settings with a video card like that. When it comes to processor, that should be okay, but i dont know a lot about AMD processors. 8gb of ram is more than enough to compliment the rest of your parts.

Perhaps try getting a videocard for about 100-150$ (a 2gb model would be nice) and you should be good to go.

I would maybe recommend a Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121642

If gaming is your priority, then a decent video card should be too.

Without anti-aliasing on, you could hit a cool 41 FPS playing BF3 on high in 1080.

You will be fine. Also, iSpecialTime, a 2gb 7770 would be useless unless he has multiple monitors. More than 1gb vram doesn't make a difference at all until you get to a 7870+ or if you have multiple monitors. There will be no difference at all between a 1gb 7770 and a 2gb 7770

 

[iSpecialTime]

Ah okay, good to know. As I said, I'm not that good with Radeon products.

But back to our friend battlefieldhazard, I agree with you, the 7770 would be his best bet!

ok now for gaming does a ssd really matter

ok now for gaming does a ssd really matter

no, all it does is increase the speed in which games can load, but once the game is running, it hardly does anything.

If you plan on downloading a lot of games, perhaps a larger HDD for the same price would be good, but its up to you

 

[DeusAres]

No, a SSD is more of a luxury than a necessity. I would drop the SSD and add that towards a better GPU. Perhaps a HD 7870?

[Edit]
Didn't notice that you didn't have a HDD listed. Do you already have a HDD or is this an entirely new build? I would drop the SSD in favor of a bigger HDD. A 500gb or 1TB drive running at 7200rpm will do the trick.

+1 to this. If gaming is your primary focus, then you video card should be too!

 

[DeusAres]

What is your exact budget? I may be able to work something out and squeeze in a better GPU.

 

[DeusAres]

I can already tell you that your case, motherboard, and cpu cooler are overkill. We might be able to drop these down a bit and squeeze in a HD 7850 or possibly even a HD 7870.

 

[battlefieldhazard]

does enyone know if the SAPPHIRE Vapor-X is any good i think ima get that one

 

[battlefieldhazard]

budget 1000

 

[DeusAres]

The Sapphire Vapor X is one of the best. It offers an excellent cooling solution.

And just to be clear, your budget is $1000 and you need an operating system and monitor included in the build, correct?

 

[battlefieldhazard]

what do you think is a good mobo

Here's a far more powerful build...

You could easily squeeze in a SSD or even get a HD 7950.

I would personally go with the intel build, add the HD 7950 and ditch the SSD altogether. I much prefer raw performance and higher FPS over mere loading times.

 

[DeusAres]

what do you think is a good mobo

It's not that the mobo you picked out was bad (it's actually pretty good; one of the best), it's just way too expensive. A cheaper board will more than serve your needs.

problem is that it all has to be from newegg

allready have a 258 gb hdd

Alright, I revised the builds with newegg links only. They are still under the $1000 budget.
