This is what I have so far for my first gaming build. Obviously I haven't yet chosen a graphics card or a PSU. If anyone could give me advice as to what would suit that would be great. I have $800 spare for the GPU and PSU.

Thanks in advice for any advice :)

Ref pccg - 780Ti $900, HX650 $160 - too much! Overclocking? 4670 -> 4670k +$20 + 85m -> 87m MOBO +$20 + CPU cooler

I think the HX650 is OK, but so is Antec 620M or Seasonic 620, etc. Say ~$150. Without overclocking the CPU this leaves about $650 for a GPU eg Asus GTX780 or R9 290. If your thinking of XFiring or SLIing later, you'll want a bigger PSU - so add that in.
