Can someone help me chose parts to build a $1000-$1100 Gaming PC? I want to be able to get at least 60+ fps on all games including BF4 and I want to use an i7 CPU. I already have a monitor and keyboard + mouse, i just need the pc.

This is a very similar build to mine. The i5/GTX 970 combo is fantastic for gaming, and all other parts are top quality.

Thanks! I really like the build, but I want to see what some other people have to say. And no, im not going to overclock 😛
 


Cheaper, conventional cooler and a cheaper PSU with less power (500W is enough) and he is able to buy an SSD. Nowadays building a PC without SSD is a really really bad idea.
 

So what do you think i should get?
