New Gaming Build NEED HELP!

I Need some help coming up with a new system. I have a 850-900 Budget, and I want the computer to be used for gaming and some video recording of gaming.

I need everything except a mouse and headset,

Parts Needed:
-Case
-Monitor
-Keyboard(Just need a cheap decent gaming one for now, can always upgrade later.)
-CPU
-Mobo
-GPU
-Ram(Would like 8gb at least)
-HDD(Would like 1TB)
-CDD(prob just somehting cheapish since they are not used much anymore)
-Power Supply
-OS(Getting Windows 7 obviously, but factor that into price)

I think thats it.

The computer I want be able to play games for the future for a little while, and still have it upgradeable(Black ops 2, maybe some Battlefield 3/4) It does not NEED to play at max graphics but at least mid to high would be nice.

Best bang for buck, and doesnt matter if intel or AMD CPU, I would prefere nvidia cards though not radeon. I am not worried about overclocking, or dual carding.

Sites to be used basically Newegg.com and Amazon.com stuff like that.

Thank you for any and all help in advance!
 
Hi, welcome to the forum. I'll let someone else set up a full list for you as I'm not in the loop of american prices but can I ask why you would prefer a Nvidia card ?
 
just a personal preference iI guess iv heard more bad then good about at least when it comes to the durability of the two and how long they can last or whatever

Performance wise they're very equal. And it's totally not true nvidia last longer then amd cards. Radeons are even better if you see price/performance.
But it's your choice and we'll accept your prefers in the build.
I'll look for you tomorrow. Any prefers for the size of your monitor?
 
umm good question. 19-21inch i guess, would like at least 1600x900. 1680x1050 is good too, and you can suggest radeon cards to if you believe them to be just as good. w/e gets me more bang for the buck basically.

this build is more for a friend on a tight budget, I have personally more experience with nvidia myself, so I know the diference i the numers and where they stand next to each other and unfortunatly have little to no experience with the ati cards.
 
The choice of the CDD and keyboard is yours.
What do you choose, AMD or Intel cpu?

with amd you'll have more money to spend on your gpu, intel will be a better cpu for gaming but is a bit more expensive. So you'll have less money for the gpu.
Though, the fx series are OK for gaming, not too great. But with a little oc you can tweak their performance to good levels in gaming.
There's not much difference between the fx8320-8350 and 6300 in gaming.
Does your friend need some processing power too?

Intel i would prefere, and im sure he would as well seeing as he wishes to record and possibly live stream occasionally while playing games such as black ops 2 and stuff.

Also the budget got increased to $1000 he just told me an hour ago, and I am gonna be talking to a bunch of our friends/clan mates to see if maybe they have any spare parts laying around they wish to donate, so we dont have to buy as many parts and get better parts for the stuff we would need still

I shall update this post with the changes later tonight when i find out what they are Thank you for the help I appareciate it alot. also wouldnt coolermaster be a better price, better bang for buck then a corsair psu? i find corsair to be more an enthusiast brand then a best bang for buck brand. I myself am running a 650w coolermaster with no issues.
 
I would go for the intel build too. If his budget is around 1000, I would only change the gpu to an hd7850/hd7870/gtx660(non ti).
Corsair is a great brand and prices are't that bad.
Cooler master is ok, but wouldn't recommend. XFX, OCZ and Antec are other great brands.
