What do you plan to do with this PC? Do you need the OS and monitor included? Do you prefer Intel/AMD or Nvidia/AMD? If you will game with it what kind of games will you be playing? Do you want to OC? CPU or GPU?

This has an I5 because an I7 will really only show improved performance in Productivity, or CPU intensive games like Minecraft. I chose 2 GTX 780 over a GTX 780 Ti because they are faster, but not all games support SLI, most games do, also SLI can have micro stuttering. I personally can't tell the difference but some people can. Then for a monitor choose a 1440p, 1600p or 1080p @ 120/144hz, because the performance this PC will give on a 60hz 1080p is a waste of money. I'd choose a 1440p or 1600p monitor personally. If you go with one GTX 780 Ti you only need a good 600w PSU so change that if you change GPUs. For the case you can choose what you want as long as it fits the parts which if you use PCPARTPICKER will tell you if they won't fit. Last thing is if you want to OC your CPU you will need an aftermarket cooler, if not get a non K model of the CPU a I5 4670.
Respond if you have any questions.

SLI increases performances in games unless the game you are playing is not supporting sli / crossfirex
I'd get something like this

SLI is having two of the same GPUs in the same PC to essentially double performance. You can have up to 4 GPUs on a Motherboard with enough PCI E 16 slots. But you don't always see double performance more like 3/4 performance increase. For Minecraft you will easily get over 100 FPS with a I5 4670 since my I5 4440 gets about 120 FPS on servers. Here is a video for SLIing Titans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vCrblKzKaM
Also do you want to spend $2000 for a reason? If you want to just max out every game at 1080p at 60 FPS a GTX 780 or R9 290 would do that for you. I would go with Nvidia before AMD for software reasons, but both GPUs are great.

thank you so much but i could not decide between your build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bacon9479/saved/4BpY or this http://pcpartpicker.com/user/bacon9479/saved/4BpY please help me decide.

I agree with everything youve said there, except that your build is based off a non current socket and chipset.

It's because the v3 is 20$ more , I tried to make it as cheap as I could

bacon9479 , remember , if you're gonna go with either builds and would like to SLI , you WILL have to get a new PSU of at least 860W .

Personally I won't go with either builds just because I don't trust asrock and pny , and for that budget better go for a 780 and invest the money into a z87 mobo so if he wants to he can change the cpu for a 4770k/4670k and a corsair h xxx(i) cpu water cooler
And that case is also too cheap for the budget , I'd at least get a 750D , getting a full tower case means better airflow due to height .
Also , going for a 1230 V3 will save 20$ for just 100MHz less , and it is worth it .

Well it's my build with a asrock z87 mobo and a v3 cpu '-'
Getting a v2 will have literally same performance but 100MHz less which isn't even noticeable and Z77 mobo's are nice and cheap for the price unless you're gonna go for a decent mobo like I did .
And as I said earlier I don't trust asrock .

Yeah, i just changed those things on yours 😛 this is not the time to be buying and building either. Would be better to wait for z97 boards, because then there is the option to get a broadwell CPU later on when theyre released
