Spec Advice on building gaming PC.

[Cilantro]

Hello I am currently in the process of building my own computer. But I need a little advice on what I should put in it. I'm looking forward to creating a gaming computer, something that can run the newest games releasing these days on the max settings. I'm a little confused on what are the appropriate components I should put in it. Such as the RAM and video card and also a great motherboard. Thanks for reading and hopefully I can have success on building this PC.

What nation do you live in?

And I would suggest a 2500K processor, P67 motherboard, 8GB (2x4GB) of DDR3-1600 RAM, a GTX570/GTX580/HD6950/HD6970, and a good CPU cooler like the V6GT or Hyper 212+.

When we know your budget and what country you are in, we can link you the proper parts.

I live in the USA and my budget is around 1,450 US

I think thats everything. You are 12 over budget, and still need a cooler, but thats something that can be procured at a later time.

Okay thanks I'm going to take a look at these and see what I can do

yea. For the cooler, you could probably drop the 580 down to a 570HD and get a Hyper212+ or V6GT and be under budget.

And you need windows, but I took 100 off of the budget for that to start with.
