Anway.. Opinions? I'm looking to get the computer fairly quick as I'm about to be on short term disability due to double knee surgery.. Any way I can get a few extra bucks outa the build?

I play

Overwatch
Diablo 3
World of Warcraft
Division
Heroes of the Storm


A few other games but those are what I mostly play.

Bad build:
- Do not sink money in that dead AM3+ platform. An i5 will serve you ALOT better and the patform has a future.
- for such a budget, don;t overspend on teh case
- W10 is a far superiour OS. Don't be fooled by the crap you hear online.
- a non-reference RX 480 8GB should be out in about a week. If you can't wait, get a reference one that is already out. It's a far supreriour card tho teh 960 you wanted.

The i5 will give you better performance that the 8350.
The only to cut the price is to cut the parts.

This build is around the same price but will perform a lot better. The GPU can be purchased through EVGA.

There, I updated your build. Btw, why do you need windows 7? Isn't windows 10 better?

Are you really going to encourage someone to buy a new AM3+ platform these days?

But he wants it at about $800 so...

Yes. And there have been several proposed around that mark with an i5. No matter the budget, AM3+ is a no-go.
