$700 gaming pc build?

[Pirate_Twinkie]

Last time I was on here I asked for a pc build for myself an it went great I got a good build list. Now I am building another pc for gaming on ultra setting in games such as titanfall, battlefield 4, and hopefully crysis 3 on a $700 cad budget for the pc. I will be buying all parts from ncix since they price match and are close by. I also want a inexpensive 1080p monitor, keyboard, and mouse along with the pc. I just want playable fps in the games listed above at max settings, 30fps should do it for me. I won't be reusing parts from my other build since that is still my main build that I will upgrade in about a year. I don't want to upgrade this build for atleast 2 years either, and am willing to lower settings. I would prefer an i5 cpu and z97 mobo, besides that I have no real preferences.

$240 will be needed just for the KB,mouse, monitor, and OS, leaving $460 for the box. That's not going to get you max settings playability on anything newer than 2010.

You can build a low budget PC with that money, that will allow basically any games to be playable, but only if you can also accept lowered graphics settings.

Yeah, that's going to be impossible to do on $700 if you want ultra settings.

OS = $90
KB = $20
Mouse = $20
Case = $30
PSU = $40
RAM = $60
HDD = $40
Monitor = $100

That alone brings you to $400, and we haven't factored in the Mobo, CPU, GPU, and HSF yet. Do you really need Z97? That might cost you $100 alone, leaving you $200 for the CPU and GPU combined. :\

Pardon my wording, what I meant was $700 cad for the pc itself with the monitor, keyboard, and mouse separate. I have $700 for the pc itself and will pay extra for the rest.

Well, I dropped to an h97 mobo, and didn't get you an SSD, but I still overshot by a few bucks:

Well, that may not quite be enough for max settings on some of those games, but yeah, that's totally different, budget-wise. And, Ken g6 just beat me to the punch.
