Hey guys,
So i just finished high school, and to reward myself for my good job i decided to buy a new gaming pc!
I'd like this build to stay under 1400$ and if possible between 1200$ and 1300$.
I already have monitor 1080p( although i was thinking of buying a 1440p-1600p one, so feel free to suggest one, but it wouldn't go towards the build cost). mouse, keyboard, OS..
The only thing that i need that you don't mount on your mobo is the place where you mount the mobo, the case.
So i was thinking about something like this :
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($199.99 @ Microcenter)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($132.99 @ NCIX US)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($74.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($85.98 @ Outlet PC)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($265.91 @ Newegg)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($264.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: Corsair Professional 650W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($109.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $1121.83
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

You may note i have no cpu cooler or case, I intend to buy the NZXT kraken x60 or the swiftech h220.
As for the PSU, i don't know the first thing about PSU's so again, feel free to suggest a better/cheaper/ more cost effective one.
Last but not least, i also thought about going the GtX 780 route and get either an ACX or a classy to have myself some unlocked voltage fun
