Hey, guys. I need help building a PC (not the actual building part but ordering the parts and all). Can anyone please help me get this sorted out?
Keep these in mind, please!:
Budget: $620 USD (US Dollars)
Games I Wish To Purchase/Play: Minecraft, Cube World, CoD Black Ops II, Far Cry 3, Battlefield 3, *CoD Ghosts*, and *Splinter Cell: Blacklist* are the ones I mainly want to play. *(Game Name)* shows games that I would love to play, but wouldn't mind if I couldn't
Also (Games): I plan on also playing mod packs on Minecraft such as Hexxit, FTB, etc. Also wouldn't mind if I could kick in some shaders on at least just vanilla Minecraft.
Settings of Games: Settings on High to Ultra/Max
Recording: Yes. I'll do it with an on-screen recorder (Dxtory) and plan to record in 720p.
Parts of PC: Honestly, I don't mind at all what parts you guys choose as I'll be appreciating your service in the first place (As long as they're working and are compatible,though, obviously). There's also no need to worry about the OS, as I have a Windows 7 Home Premium booklet-thingy.
Anyway, I'm very sorry if I'm sounding too picky or if I'm asking for to much! Thanks for the help!
I don't need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse and I'm sorry for not adding that earlier. But, now that you bring that up, just make sure that the GPU is compatible with this monitor:
If the GPU that one of you guys pick doesn't have a VGA socket and only has a DVI one and/or a HDMI socket, then there's also no need to worry. I have plug-in speakers and headphones that could cover the sound while a DVI cable covers the video.

it should support it, and if not, you should be able to easily buy an adapter to convert it (dvi-i and dvi-d are pretty much exactly the same)
Also, before I purchase these parts, I have some questions:
-Would a CPU cooler and/or a case fan be necessary for me to have for gaming?
-If I added a random CPU cooler, a case fan, and/or an optical drive to the build, would those parts still be compatible to the rest of the system?
-Also, would some sort of "Expansion Card / Networking Card" be needed for the build to be wireless and compatible with my internet/wi-fi, or would the build already be wireless/network compatible? Thanks.

1. All CPU's need a CPU cooler, which is why every CPU comes with a cooler. You can buy aftermarket CPU coolers if you want to overclock. Case fans come with your case. The only reason to get different case fans are if you want quieter fans or better performing fans, or if you want a specific color scheme (the default case fans are 99% of the time fine unless they are defective somehow, in which case you can generally get a replacement from the manufacturer.
2. Yes probably, but unless you're careful you could easily end up getting a CPU cooler or case fan that's worse than the defaults.
3. Yes, you would need to get a wifi card to be able to connect to your wifi.

Oh, so all CPU's already have a CPU cooler and all PC's have a case fan already, and the extra ones are optional, right? But I'm going to probably need an optical drive thing (for gaming as some games I'll probably use a disc for instead of download) and I might need a wifi card so I could connect to wifi (sorry that I forgot to put it in my main post before). So, because I don't know which parts are compatible and because I don't know which parts are good or not, may one of you please add a wifi card thing, an ethernet card thing (IF you need one of those too to use ethernet), an optical drive (that works with dvd's and cd's/game discs; I don't care about Blu-ray), and a sound card to this build?(only if the sound card is needed for the sound to work. I don't need it if it isn't needed, though)? Also, please try to not exceed the budget ($620) and being lower than it, when possible, is always better! Thanks for the help.
