So I plan on building a new PC since mine is 2 years old and sounds like an air liner, and since my price range is $400 would the one in the OP be good?

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161427

What games could this run? like games at max settings? i am not expecting the best results, just good FPS for games like skyrim, civ5, GTA 4, etc.

Please find cooling, power and a os and add all the prices together and tell me I have to leave my house right now so I will talk later.

wow that i7 deal is climaxic
but its in-store only so you cannot order it online, just note

and you are spending 150 on a case with such a budget? you should get a case for 50 and put the rest of the money toward better parts. i would probably get a 1tb western digital black for the hdd
oh and get the r9 280x instead for 20 bucks less, it completely annihilates the 760 in terms of game performance

Microcenter <3
If I get 200 bucks or more for Christmas I'm definitely getting that

its far from running games at high settings, but it should be fine at medium settings

[Bisjac]

an 8core 3.5ghz should be fine for the entire life of that comp xd

a gpu upgrade will be needed in about a year though

[Tokthree]

I'd get an FX 4300/4350 instead and use the money you save on that to get a better GPU. You really don't need those 8 cores
