You can run every game on maximum settings at 1080p with an $800 budget, why would you ever buy something from origin?

MineultSorry, couldn't post it in different format, mod's

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard: Asus Z87-A ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card

Case: BitFenix Shinobi Window ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse

Seems... fine... 270X doesn't seem for that budget. Why a locked CPU with an unlocked motherboard which you can't even upgrade later? Cheapest DDR3 1600MHz CAS9 RAM would be fine. Right now Seagate Barracuda is cheaper. You can get cheaper and better cases. Why Windows 7? Support for it ends soon.

This is a pretty good build and you still have some money left over.

A 4790 is way out of his budget, and please explain clearly instead of saying "then u connect all da cables n stuff. And what game are you playing that gives you 700 fps on min settings?
