Someone please build me a $1200 gaming PC. I would like to be able to play GTA V, City Skylines, Minecraft(modded), Day Z, H1Z1, and ETS 2. I would like to have a dual monitor setup in the future. I would also like a GTX 970, i5, an SSD if possible. In a Fractile R4.
 
Do you need OS? Monitor? Optical drive? Future overclocking/SLI?

Here is a silent killer=
