superchunk on 12 September 2013
I wouldn't pick AMD over Intel. At the moment the Intel CPUs blow away AMD. Additionally, you should NOT go with integrated GPU if you want best possible gaming experience.
I just put together a good build for about $800 (on NewEgg) that should run Battlefield 4 (as an example) extremely well with a Haswell i5, 670 (2GB GDDR5), 8B DDR3 (3000oc) and Win8 for the new DX stuff.
I kinda wanted to walk away from WinPCs but I also kinda want to play BF4 and my last build was in 2008 so its about time to upgrade and give away the even older 2001 build I still have downstairs.
