Need a build for $800 with Windows 7. It's only gonna be used for gaming. Need's to be $800 before any Mail In Rebates and stuff like that.
Here's a build based on the FX-6300. You can always swap out the SSD for a HDD if you need more storage, but I'm pretty confident that all of us here on the tek syndicate have a couple of hard drives lying around. No?

I added a GTX 760. Much mroe powerful than the 7850. If you can grab hold of some more money try and get the HD 7950. It's a tad better and game developers are starting to make their games optimized for AMD. Such as Dice with Battlefield 4
