Default Looking to build a gaming desktop.
Whats up guys?
Thanks for the help, I'm looking to build a gaming rig for about 1200 not including monitor, keyboard or mouse.

If you have any suggestions or could let me know what goes best together for that price.

Thanks!

I guess it would just be a preference whether you go with the i7 build or amd build in this case, cause the i7 will preform better in just about everything else, but the amd build will do better in gaming, oviously cause the gfx card.
