I want to build a gaming PC for the latest games (a good video card, processor, etc.) for under 800$.
Could you guys suggest any parts to use?
Answer
i've seen your other question with your own build. if it's completed with a power supply and operating system, the final price will exceed the $1100 mark.
here's a complete and serious suggestion for $800 that can run any of the latest games on high or even max. settings including BF3, Skyrim and the like.
mobo - ASRock H77M LGA 1155 Intel H77 ($75)
ram - G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 ($46)
gpu - MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB ($240)
hdd - Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb ($100)
opt. drive - LG DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH24NS90 ($18)
psu - OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular High Performance ($75)
case - Antec Gaming Series One Black Steel ATX Mid Tower ($50)
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM ($100)
...... no, i didn't forget the cpu. and now hold your breath
cpu - Intel Pentium G860 Sandy Bridge 3.0GHz ($90)
total $794 (shipping not included)
in order to not exceed the total of $800 i had to make a compromise. i've checked if it would be possible to play the latest games on high settings with a Sandy Bridge processor of the G8xx family and it turned out - it is! the G860 even meets the recommended requirements of BF3.
if you can stretch the budget beyond the $900 mark, it's up to you to get the i5-3570K.
games are not dependend on a super fast cpu but on a fast gpu.

I'm building a gaming PC and i have no idea where to start... I need someone who would be willing to email back and forth with me so i know what parts to buy and whatnot... Thank you
Answer
A gaming computer for 800 dollars without the OS, disk drive, internet connections, mouse, keyboard, and monitor will only last you a good 2 years on high settings for a game, after that is up you are going to spend another say 300-400 dollars to keep playing high settings and all of this is Not including the components I listed above. I went on part picker and made the best machine for close to 3,000 without those components, this build would probably last as a top notch for only 6-7 years. It really depends on how hard game publishers push for advanced games elements.
