So I'm still sort of new to building computers and would like to know if my custom build could handle some of the newer games at at least medium settings at 1080p and older games at at least high settings at 1080p. Oh and since I'm not really rolling in the money, I'd like to keep if as cheap as possible without ruining performance. I believe I did a pretty good job, but that's up for you to decide. Tell me if there's anything I should add, take out, or replace. Thanks!

Here are the updated specs. It costs about $800 USD. I don't want to pay much higher than that. Thanks again!

It looks pretty good, except for the GPU. I would definitely recommend getting the boost edition. It makes a huge difference. I actually have the Gigabyte GTX 650 ti Boost and it runs great. I can usually max out settings in games like War Thunder, World of Tanks, and Hawken with at the least, 30fps . In Star Wars the Old Republic and Lord of the Rings Online I do need to keep them running at medium settings to keep them smooth. Also, any older games I run I max them out. Your experience might be better, since I'm still running a Core 2 Duo. Other than the GPU, the system looks pretty good (but personally, I would get a mechanical keyboard and the Logitech g602 ;))

Thanks for the advice, but I can't seem to find any GTX 650 ti boosts anywhere. Everywhere I look they seem to be out of stock or something else like that.

Go for the 750 ti? Bit more expensive, but more performance. If you can afford the GTX 760, you are set. It is one of the best GPU's for the money. The 760 is about 100$ more expensive though (compared to 650 ti).

Your PC should play the newest and latest games at low-medium settings, if your not satisfied with that, go for the GTX750Ti or GTX760 if you can afford it, of course GTX770-780Ti would be great but thats way out of your budget

Then I would suggest looking at the 750ti. Its within the price range, and much better than the regular GTX 650 ti. It is a little less powerful than the boost, but it's newer.

Agreed=). I don't know what the build is going to be used for, but the 750 ti should be able to run BF4 med settings. A friend of mine runs BF4 with the 650 ti boost, so the 750 ti should be able to as well !
