Hey everyone. I am in need of a new desktop PC. I don't know very much about building computers. I have done some on www.pcpartpicker.com. Here is what I have, and tell me if there's anything I should change to save money or make it better for a little bit more. My budget is around 700-750 US dollars, maybe 800. Here's the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6MP8
EDIT: Forgot to mention the games I would play. I would play Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, Skyrim, etc.
Except it doesn't have a monitor. You would have to get even lower end hardware if you included one

I built my own computer in 2012, Specs are: Intel i3-2100, Amd radeon 5570, 8GB of ram, 500GB Hard drive, Antec One case, Z77A G43 Motherboard, OCZ 600W PSU. Windows 7 64 Bit.
Also I have a youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc9Bi9r4UPZbAWyuRKBJeoA
I like to play games on steam like Garry's Mod and robocraft.
Would an i3 do good with the games I would play? (Skyrim, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft)
Yes the i3 is still a strong cpu. Can play bf3 if paired with a good GPU.

This is good if you have to include a monitor, also down the ram to $38 G skill

I didn't look into monitors, just the pc specs. I assumed he picked out the monitor he wanted.
He had a monitor, so I assumed he would need one.

6870. Not much else, but that is a very good card.

Try sticking in a Z68 Motherboard for future upgrades.
