OK so i have been on here a couple asking about things for my build a couple of times and this is V5.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/272nE
Budget: 500 to 600 USD
Do I have anything?: Yes I have the mouse and keyboard, also hard drives, and an optical drive and monitor (BUT it's crapy so if you can find a cheap monitor but good I would appreciate it)
Also I wasn't sure it i should get a 760 or a 770 I like the ACX ones but whatever (The cheaper the better)
I would prefer Nvide for the GPU
-thanks again,
Chris
Any reason for preferring nVidia over AMD? Are you working with CUDA or is it just fanboyism?
I found it hard to fit the 8320 in the budget, but the 750K should still provide plenty of performance for what you need it. This build should let you play modern games @60FPS high-ultra settings 1080p.

Cost After MIR: $592.89
I know AMD is more bang for your buck but so far i like the nVidia so yea fan boy. I really want the 8320 since its beast for the price and i think i might just get the computer first and wait till my birthday to get the GPU since i have a a GT or GTX 440 and i don't have too many PC games so it won't be to much of a problem. And there's Also black-friday and cyber-monday.

Cheaper, higher clocked RAM.
Better motherboard
HD 7950. You can change it to a GTX 760, but I prefer the 7950s as they perform about the same for less, and have an extra GB of VRAM.
Really nice PSU, albeit non-modular. I have one myself.
