$1000 gaming build

[lotus011]

I am looking for a $1000 gaming build with the OS included. I will not be overclocking any of the components. I basically want the highest fps possible with the resolution at 1920x1080. Thanks everyone with their responses.

Check out that one I put on. It'll handle everything you throw at it. If your playing battlefield 4, it should play it on ultra no problem.

could i swap the r9 280x for a gtx 780? i know it would be more.. but i think it would be worth it. The cpu you picked Intel Core i5-4670K. I will not be overclocking so maybe i could save a little money on the cpu.

I'd say stick with the 280x.. and if you want the 780, I'd end up recommending the 290.

if you dont want to OC, then pick non OC parts
includes the highest clock gtx 780 available, so you dont need to tweak around anymore
xfx 550W is enough for that
