Would the people who have already made their requests mind updating to the new template? I understand it's a bit of an inconvenience, but it would make my job much easier :)

Budget: $400 - $500 I know it's not a lot :l
CPU: Intel or AMD: Preferably Intel but I'm not gonna be picky when I have a small budget.
GPU: AMD or Nvidia: Preferably Nvidia but like I said I'm not gonna be picky with that budget.
Focus: Able to run Minecraft well and possibly be able to run games like Battlefield 4 and Elder Scrolls online on the lowest setting with decent FPS
What Parts Do You Already Have: Nothing. All I have is the peripherals.
Any Special Notes: Nothing.

Budget: I could spend ALOT of money on this but I need that for other things so just say $2500
CPU: Intel or AMD: Intel
GPU: AMD or Nvidia: Nvidia
Focus: FPS, Also being able to play with high settings with 500 plus fps
What Parts Do You Already Have: I haven't bought the parts yet but I will buy them when I have the best build I could get.
Any Special Notes:Processor: Intel BX80646I74770 Core i7-4770 3.4GHz 8MB LGA1150 Haswell Boxed CPU $345.00
Monitor: Benq 24" XL2411T 1920x1080 144Hz 1ms GTG HDMI DVI Gaming LED Backlight LCD Monitor $429.00
Graphics Card: Gigabyte GV-N780OC-3GD 3GB GTX 780 PCI-E VGA Card $859.00
MotherBoard: ASRock Z87-EXTREME6 Intel Z87 Socket 1150/4xDDR3/2x PCIEx16/SATA3/USB3.0/2xGbLAN/ATX Motherboard $215.00


Ram:G.Skill Trident-X 16GB Kit (8Gx2) DDR3-2400 F3-2400C10D-16GTX $189.00
Storage:Hitachi 3.5" Deskstar 0F15632 1TB 32M SATA III HDD 7200RPM x2 $136.00 Storage:Kingston HyperX KINSH103S3/120G 120GB Sanforce SATA3 SSD HDD $123.00
PSU: Antec HCG-900 High Current Gamer Gaming PSU $169.00
Case:Thermaltake VP300A1W2N A31 Black USB3.0 Mid Tower Case without PSU $98.00
I'm happy with this, If there is anything a bit cheaper with the same quality, That would be appreciated.Also a optical driver which cost about $20 or less because I really don't care about them. The cost is $2563.00 so far. There might be flaws which I'm not sure about, If so could you please fix it. :D I have a skullcandy SLYR Black for my headphones and a Razer DeathAdder 2013 for my mouse, All I need is my keyboard :D Also if you could make sure it's all compatible :D I'm also not OC so would I need a cooler?

My god it's fun working with a lot of money :D

Just one question before I'm finished, do you already have a copy of Windows 7, or would you like me to include that in the build for you?

Edit: Also, in looking at keyboards, would you prefer a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate or a Corsair Vengeance K90?

You should do a contest for a free PC that would get at least 75 fps without optifine. Just a thought

gianteye123 As there's been no response (I assume you went to bed/school), I went ahead and just made two possible setups, one with the OS included, and one without. I made quite a few edits to the original setup you had, but I did numerous crosschecks to ensure I wouldn't be hindering your performance in any way. By doing so, I was actually able to save enough to bump you up to a 2 TB Hard Drive and a GTX Titan. I also got you the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate 2013 edition, which is a fantastic keyboard with the exception of loud keys. It can easily be switched out for another keyboard as you see fit, however. All the parts in this setup are fully compatible with each other, so you'll be having no problems on that front.

Now, without further ado, the setup:

Setup 1 - Without Windows 7 - $2555 (Not including promo codes)
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1pe0Z

Setup 2 - With Windows 7, but a cheaper Motherboard (Though still roughly equal) - $2543

Very nice idea, I'm sure this will help a lot of people.

I built my computer (sort of) :)

Thank you so much :D I wasn't replying because I didn't get any alerts :oops:. But none the less I really appreciate it. :D
I will edit in what I think when I fully view everything :)

Col_StaR I've finished your computer design. Hopefully what I've thrown together is up to the test (though I'm swiftly realizing that I'll likely have more practice over the next few weeks than I have in my entire life :p)

Well, without further ado, here you go:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1pesY
Total Price: $808.10 (with $10 off in promo codes).
