I have accumulated quite a bit of money and decided to build myself a gaming computer. I have never done this, but I will get right to the point:

-- Intel build

-- i5-4690k + GTX 970

-- I need an OS

-- I need a monitor

-- I do NOT need hard drive, I already have a 1.5TB drive

Please give me feedback, as this is the first time I have built a computer before. I would like to stick with the GTX 970 and the i5-4690k though, if possible. My monitor is also probably (will no matter what) going to be a BenQ 60Hz with 1 ms refresh rate.
