this would be my suggestion :) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3vge2

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask :)

thanks dude ill check it out

The Xeon E3 1230 V2 is an I7 without the integrated graphics. this build is $24 over budget but it will be worth it.

It does not overclock and does not need aftermarket cooling.

okay ill check it out

Link is broken. 

FX 8320 based with SSD: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3w4Zn

8320 without SSD: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3w539

Fx-6300 Based with SSD: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3w596

6300 without SSD:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3w57f

Intel Option: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3w5gg

Some are a little over $900 I know. You could prob cut corners in some places, like a cheaper case, but I think those are the best builds for around  your budget. Select what you need based on CPU/GPU power and price as well as if you want an SSD. 

Personally I think the FX6300 without the SSD is the best bang for your buck. 

Remove the If at the end.

alright i updated my parts list http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3xrwQ need help with motherboard , power supply and case

Okay, for a PSU, your going to need something in the ballpark of 500w. 80+ Bronze certification is a must for a PSU. If you are thinking ATX Mid tower or a Mirco ATX case, I recommend the EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze PSU. If you are going for something smaller, like an Mini ITX case (great portability but hard to manage cables), go for a fully or semi modular PSU like the Corsair CX500M 80+ Bronze.

For the case, do you want portability or more space? An ITX Case would be great for taking to LAN parties or gaming events and wouldn't take up much space; however, it does come at the cost of less cable management and possibly less air flow, depending on the case. A Mid tower would be much bigger and would offer many more options in terms of cable management, storage, air flow, and space for large graphics cards. The downfall to this type of case is that it is heavy and rather hard to move it from place to place consistently.

With the motherboards, it is more dependent on what features you want on it. Do you want to overclock (which doesn't seem like something you may do anytime soon), do you want USB 3.0, do want to have more graphics cards, ability to have more HDDs/SSDs, etc.? If you don't want many of those things and just want the necessities, go for something cheaper. If you want more bells and whistles, get something a little more expensive. Simple really...at least for that part of it. The hardest part is choosing the brand and seeing what each board has to offer. The most trusted brands are and go from best to worst (from what I have encountered based on what I've seen): Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock. Do know that this often is different from person to person but general consensus is that Asus and Gigabyte are the most reliable.

I would go on but it is late in the Midwest and I am tired. :P

On that budget, I wouldn't get the i5-4670k. You can't afford a high enough GPU after that.

This build allows you to get a R9-280x GPU with a amd 6300 processor that can be overclocked nicely. When it comes to gaming, the GPU is most important and you want a CPU that is fast enough to not hinder the GPU performance, and the R9-280x will run at full speed with the 6300 CPU. All the parts in this build are quality parts, even if they are the premium models, You won't have problems (unless you are very unlucky). 

Now if you want the intel for photoshop and other tasks, then maybe something like this:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3xtus ... but its $9 over at $909.

i have my eye on the fractal r4 with window case mid i believe its called. i have enough space for a mid tower so space is not an issue. i do plan on adding ssds and hdds in the future. is there any advantage to adding another graphics card? 

also what is sli and crossfire support? thanks for all the knowledge as well

i wouldnt mind going over the budget just a bit. also is it better to buy the parts all at once or separately?

AMD's crossfire and Nvidia's SLI are technologies for making multiple GPUs work together for increased performance.

Even if you go over budget a little, you're still selling yourself short on performance per dollar by quite a bit if you choose the 4670K with the unecessary CPU cooler and expensive Z87 motherboard. 

For a gaming rig at this price point, you can do better than a GTX 760 if you choose carefully.

Here's my suggestion: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3xKRT

$30 over, but this build will last you for years and will handle anything you can throw at it 1080p maxed. Includes 128GB SSD and 1TB HDD. I included an R9-280X (I prefer AMD GPUs) but if you prefer Nvidia, you might be able to find a GTX 770 which is at a similar performance level. 

That's one pretty good build right there.

yeah. its like a puzzle putting together these parts lol

Bro, at this price point, I highly suggest either an MAD 8350 or 8320 over the i5. It is going to be cheaper so you can stay under budget while still keeping the 280X.

Good luck!
