Budget - $800
For : Wow/D3/LoL/FO4 release

I'm not extremely experienced with building computers so I have a rough idea of what I need, though it would be great to have some help. I've got all the accessories such as a keyboard/monitor/mouse/headset.

Thanks!

Budget: $800
More specific use (what games, what programs): WoW/D3/LoL/FO4 release
Planned time until purchase: <one month
Do you need an Operating System?: no
Do you have any specific preferred components?: not specific, but a powerful graphics card, even if it adds a bit to the overall price $800<
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Yes
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: overclocking
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: No
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): 80232, if shipping puts it up by $100 overall, please don't worry.

I have about $1k set aside to get the computer, including shipping, which is the main reason I set the budget at $800. if you can find something shippable and averaging at $1000 including a part upgrade, do it!

I appreciate it

Not much knowledge of AMD, but my general rule is under $1.2k go AMD. Otherwise go Intel. Shipping for everything is generally ~$50-$100.

I know ASUS and EVGA are both great brands to go by. This is just a quick throw together to give you an idea of what you can get for your budget. Maybe you can tinker with it to more suit your needs, but this is a fairly solid build that should play any of the games you listed on max settings. I had an AMD 6300 with a worse GPU and ran D3/WoW/LoL max settings 60+ FPS. So, you should be fine, but like I said. Tinker with it to more suit your needs, if need be. Also, since you're doing a buy sometime within the month, sales could pop up. Always keep an eye out! Best of luck!

This helps a lot. I had a question about the drive, would you recommend upgrading to solid state?

When playing games, SSDs aren't THAT noticable. Personally, I just use a SSD for your OS+Drivers. Get a second HD for games and such.

This is a good build. I would've allocated the budget different, but this fulfills OP's request.
