Cheap PC Build

I have a question. Can any of you guys give me a cheap PC build (under $750) that can run 60FPS at 1080p at high settings. I have seen some but I dont really think that they are cheap enough. So I was wondering if it is possible to run those settings at such a cheap price.

PS : This is my first PC build

I always like to keep the base price around the budget because rebates take to long but if actually do the rebates the shave off another 80$ good enough for a decent CPU cooler and a better GPU

Rationale

CPU: good enough for what your doing

MOBO: unless you want to do massive oc's this will do nicely

CPU cooler: the awesome thing about pc's are you can spend less now, use the stock cooler, and slap a 212 evo on it later.

RAM: one 8GB stick now will probably suit you fine (unless your a web browsing tab monster, if so get another one later)

SSD: should get you started, hold a good amount of games, then later get big mechanical drive (if you have that many games)

GPU: A 280x is perfect for your requirements (might need to turn down the AA in some games)

Case: Cheap and everything will fit in it

PSU: later when you get a better CPU cooler you will still have OC headroom or add another 280x

I'm not sure if he still is but there is guy is the buy/sell forum selling cheap windows

Not sure if:

  1. Overclocking
  2. Wifi
  3. OS
  4. Peripherals

sorry to rain on your parade buddy but I need all of those things in that budget

Update : There is a change in my budget.
$1000-$1300. The only thing I have to say is that PC must have a GTX 980, optical drive, mouse + keyboard, Windows 8.1, wifi card, hyper 212 evo or better, enough fans to fill the case up, and a motherboard or a peripheral that will support all of those fans. Seems like a lot but I is possible. I have a PCPARTPICKER BUILD that meets all this but I want the communities feedback on this.

BOOSH

Cool build man but I had something similar. I had an MSI GTX 980 which is around the same price and I had a wd caviar blue 7200rpm 1tb 3.5" hardrive which would make this PC better but for just a few extra bucks

yea but the hybird drive will boot faster but if you already have the HDD then its fine.

Hmm. For $750;

  • Intel based ( i3 or i5 )
  • Gtx 770/980 | Amd 290
  • SSD + HDD? (your choice )

Just my opinion. :)

Donde?
(where?)

true but i can just get a SSD + HDD. I will look into it. Thnx for the suggestion. Also look at my update comment. It has changed.

PST : it has more criteria

Cool but i was looking for an exact build like the actual name of the parts

Something around this build.

these parts are pretty good. I will look into it

Bad SSD due to kingston's bait & switch to asynchronous flash.

ASUS' R9 290s and 290Xs have really underperforming coolers. There is a lack of thermal pads, and as far as anyone can tell, the coolers were taken from their GTX cards and put on the AMD side.

Higher wattage power supply for more headroom.

Agreed.I am not too sure about ssd's the pricing was adequate for the budget.

Not too much a fan of using amd Gpu on any cheap build, but works fine here.

Show us the parte list, I want to help
