Is $700-800 enough to build a gaming pc?

I am trying to build my frist gaming PC. I was woundering is $700-800 is enough. I would like to use an i7 processor and 8gb or more of ram.

Can someone help me with picking out parts to fit the budget? (perfered using newegg)

Thanks!!

If you already have the monitor, keyboard, mouse, then it's very doable. $800 would come out to be a nice build. Try to shop at websites that don't charge for tax like Tigerdirect.com or Amazon.

Although Amazon does charge tax now in certain states:

Arizona
California
Kansas
Kentucky
New Jersey
New York
North Dakota
Pennsylvania
Texas
Washington

If you want a good GPU then no, the i7 makes absolutely no sense in your budget (an i7 with motherboard is going to eat half your budget). You'd be looking more along the lines of an i5 or fx8000 and for GPU you'd be looking at a GTX 760

It is a tight budget and you should drop the i7 and put the money towards a decent GPU.

You should look at i5 CPUs.

no unless you want to upgrade it yearly........
