700$-810$ Gaming PC.
Sometime ago, I saw a post by Seagate about building a PC for Battlefield 4 for only 750$. I looked at the specs (see link below), I was contented but I want to change some components to a better one (if possible). I'll build it soon, but not more than December. My max budget is $810, but I can extended for 20$~30$ or more. The prices of the hardware here in the Philippines is cheaper, for example, I saw a GTX 650 on a shop for $116; I went to Newegg and compared the price, most of the cards there are around at $120~$180. I don't really need an SSD, but if it will fit in my budget, then just add one. Also (optional), I want a Core i7 (not necessarily to be a 4th gen) CPU, or if it's gonna be more than my budget, a Core i5 4th generation. For the GFX card (optional to), I want it to be an Nvidia card. What comes in to my mind is the GTX 660 or the GTX 650 Ti Boost because I heard that this card is a good bang for the buck. And like I said about the CPU, if it's gonna be more than my budget, I'll be fine with it. One more thing, I might salvage some parts in my current PC (check my specs), like the hard drive for extra storage (not planning to setup a RAID). Also I'll just use Windows 7 64-bit as an OS because I'm afraid that some of my games (most are old) might not run on W8.

Edit: Forgot to write this yesterday. Also, since I'll change to another CPU, it'll mean that I will need to get a new MoBo. Different brands/models, different sockets. The keyboard, mouse, speakers won't be a problem, I'll use my current stuff for the new one but I'll buy one soon after a few weeks or months from the build. Same with the monitor, the connectors on my current monitor is a VGA and a DVI-Single link. Thanks for reading and helping me.
