New gaming PC

[fandridis]

Hello guys, I am new here, but already love the place!
Anyway, I want to make a new gaming PC that will last for 4-5 years! (no problem if the last 2 years are in medium settings)

I could wait few months if better things will arrive and I have no idea about OC and stuff... so I just need a good gaming PC that just "works"!

1) What will you be doing with this PC?
Gaming & browsing! I don't care so much to play every nextgen game in ULTRA HIGH settings, but I enjoy playing all kind of games in good graphics.

2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
1000-1300$ Tax and shipping included.

3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
I live in Greece, I will find the items from here.

4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all th
e parts you'll need.
CASE,CPU,RAM,PSU,GPU,SSD,MOBO

6) Will you be overclocking?
Nope

7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
24'' 1920/1080

8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
I can build it now or wait 3-4 months if needed.

9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
I guess just USB 3.0.

10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
I have, 64bit

I'm a little uncomfortable at directing you to another site but I know there are examples of builds at the anandtech forum. mfenn has list of parts you might want to look at.

Any online retailers we can take a look at?

You know what, I have no idea where you live. But, if you're talking about finding online retailers in Canada, there's shopbot.ca

I've ordered from places like cendirect, infonec, shoprbc, canadacomputers, newegg.ca (.com is U.S. only)...

There are big box stores though like BestBuy.ca, futureshop and Staples.

That question was for the OP who lives in Greece.

1- waiot itll end of CES (this week) to see the were about of DDR4 and Nvidia series 800

From there make a decision.

I would suggest a nvidia 780 acx cooler GPU ($500. usd) card.
8gb ram minimum 16 preferred DDR3 1666 or 1800 cas 9 if possible

everything else is relevant on current sale price
