2015 Gaming PC

Hello everyone! Hope you all had happy holidays! I'm trying to build a good gaming PC (hopefully while there are still some holiday deals) I really hate to come on here and ask you guys to do it for me but I havent had much time to do research and would like to take advantage of deals while they still last.

I'm not like a super elitist about graphics and whatnot. I've just had an old 2009 budget consumer computer that can't run anything anymore. I just want to build something with a good amount of power and graphics. Basically the best I can do for 700 - 850$ I just want to be able to play online games with good settings, I have been playing Oblivion on very poor and even that is slow. If I could just play something like Neverwinter, Path Of Exile, League of Legends or something on high settings. (If I can't run it on super ultra mega fine settings that is totally fine with me haha injust want it to look good enough to enjoy)

As for the questions.

1. Gaming. Thats about it.
2. About 700 - 850 if necessary I would go to 1000 if absolutely necessary.
3. America
4. Nope keeping it in America
5, 6, and 7. Nope, Nope and Default.
8. 1360 x 768 I have a 19in. vizio E231-B1
9. Asap
x. Windows 8.1

Thanks in advance guys. If there is anything I left out or I need to answer let me know. Also sorry for any mistakes Im on mobile.

You could use a new monitor at some point. So I went ahead and threw one into this build:

That puts it at the upper end of your "if necessary" range. Of course, a new monitor isn't necessary; without it this build is about $725.

Also, do you happen to be near a Micro Center? They have nice CPU/mobo bundle discounts. 🙂

Thanks a lot man, thats great! I'll probably start buying the parts tonight! Sadly no I don't live anywhere near a Microcenter (I'm in NC) but its fine I guess. This is going to be my christmas present to myself so im exited! :biggrin:

And yeah... you have no idea... my current computer is BAAAAAAAAAD. And not the good bad. The extremely awful bad.

Again thank you so much!
 
Hey could someone help me out, the memory is sold out everywhere I can find. Is there a good replacement I can get. Preferably newegg.
