Can someone put together a good $800 build for my friend who is buying it tomorrow.

  • Intel i-Series
  • NVIDIA GTX
  • Can Play ArmA 3/BF4 On Medium-High
  • Wi-Fi
  • Needs To Include Monitor (20" Or Above)


I think it's about time to get a new CPU
I'm not really sure what to get for a low price
It just feels something's slowing everything down

Here are the upgrades to my current set up.

The three upgrades are the Motherboard, CPU Cooler, and GPU.

I want to do cable management, but my cables are not long enough, where is the best place to buy extensions for this?

Get a GTX 760 instead of the 660. You'll pay about the same and the 760 is faster.

will do

Also, don't get an APU if you have a dedicated graphics card, get a cheap socket 1150 motherboard and an i3 instead.
