Building under $1000 gaming PC

Hi there, i will assist you with a great rig for that budget.

Do you have any brand preferences before i go hunting?

Not really. As long as they're a good quality for the price then whatever.officialruneite

No worries pal, give us 5 mins :)

Maxed budget, best spec/price

i7 build.

The i7 and i5 are identicle for gaming.

Both posted builds are good.

If the first one is too expensive you can always drop to the 650w corsair CX and/or a GTX 760 for only a small performance drop.

And to think, my crappy $600 pc I built this past black friday can play Crysis 3 maxed out with FXAA 1080p around 35fps (28ish-50 in outdoor areas).  Welp, my pc isn't anything at all, and I'm not a gamer.  I should just go die.

Just kidding.  My 660 overclocked to 1206/6600 can pull the game just fine, and even if 35 fps isn't ideal, I can compensate that monetary difference and 15 less frames by playing it on my ST50.  Looks nice :)

For $1000, he should be able to max just about anything for another year or two above 30 fps.

An i7 3960X will bring litterally no gaming improvements for more than twice the price than an i7-4770k (which is already overkill for gaming). And the 690 is a bad deal too, you're far better off getting 2 GTX 770 in SLI, you'll get better performance for 200$ less. You better be trolling otherwise you're just wrecklessly ignorant.
