+1

I'd suggest this build; the Samsung EVO 120GB will serve you well, and the GTX 770 is great.

+1

I'd suggest this build .

Why?

They are essentially the same build,only one of them supports sli (your +1,it has the 750watt psu),both have ssd's and the gtx 770.With sli i would probably go for 850watts looking at that the amd is a more power hungry cpu,isn't that much more expensive though.

For overclocking would you need an extra cpu cooler,but that can be purchased later when you're getting to it and have the budget for it.No option for sli with the psu that i used,but could be swapped if you wanted to go for it.

Another nice,more flashy,case for it already picked by Novuake,

Building off the already suggested builds, I changed it to a Xeon since I have a feeling OP isn't looking to mess with OC and the extra Hyperthreading could instead come in handy. Yes it's a Z series motherboard but they're priced so closely to the H and B series I just chucked it in.

Also Matt gibbi don't worry, assembling it yourself is simple and you'll save quite a lot of money in the process. There are various guides all over the internet to assist you; it's like lego for adults.

The 750w will be better for future upgrades and overclocking, and why go with the 3570k? It may be just as good as the 4670k but at the end of the day it's the old i5. Plus the 8320 is cheaper and is better for multi threaded tasks and some games may take advantage of the extra cores.

Ps. On phone so sorry for any typos

It is for gaming the better choice imo and still overclockable.It was also just a bit cheaper than the 4670K
I don´t think the extra cores matter that much when used for gaming.
It also uses less power and can do with a less powerfull psu,with the xfx will the ts have plenty of power for it even overclocked.
It being the "older" i5 is no reason not to buy it,it's still a very good cpu.

Well either way they are both good options just saying.

True, the i5-3570k is an oldie but goldie!
