I was mainly looking for it to run minecraft, skyrim, and cod 4.
Do you think this build will be able to run those games? If not, what do I need to change?

From what I see, it should, however may want another users opinion on this.

Not a PC gamer, just know quite a bit about PC's in general.

Yeah dude, the only problem is the GPU. Try upgrading to a 770 and you will be done and dusted ;)

This will be a lot better. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I included an SSD, A R9 290 and a cooler to make use of the unlocked CPU and overclocking motherboard.

Edit: Just saw you included a monitor. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

What's the problem with a GTX 760? It's a fantastic card. Will easily run CoD 4 and Minecraft smoothly. Skyrim I'm not sure about as I don't play it myself or have any interest in it, so don't know how much CPU/GPU power it would need.

The GPU itself is not bad, but considering the build is $1300 is pretty bad. A GTX770, R9 290 or GTX780 would be more appropriate for that price.

Everything's great, though an SSD isn't needed it is nice to have in the future, and 750w is way then enough power, maybe a little to much. But it should play all games at this point.

Woah, never even noticed it was a $1300 build. My point still stands though, the GTX 760 is a fantastic card for its price. In a $1300 build, not a great choice.

OP-Save money by not purchasing an OS, you could save a bit on the mobo, get a cheaper case, no need for a 740W PSU, 550W will more than suffice and you could possibly get a cheaper monitor. All this extra cash could go towards a better GPU.

Ok. I have decided to go with a GTX 770 instead. But if I don't buy the OS, then where will I get one?
