Dear all 😀

I am currently under process of building my first DIY gaming Desktop, but I am a total noob on this topic. I did some research base on my needs and preference and I got overwhelmed by all those names and series numbers.

So I post this thread hope you guys can give me suggest/advice on my build. (A complete part list with description of choice would be gratefully appreciated!)

Here some back ground:
1. I am aiming a $1000 budget, however, 1~200 overboard can be accepted
2. I am using this PC mainly for gaming like Fallout 4, COD, WoW and starcraft 2 (The better the graphic setting the better, of course)

OK, I am thinking getting a Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad Core Processor, and a GeForce GTX 980 GPU (Not sure what brand).
In short, I want the best performance/graphic setting base on my budget.
However, suggestion are open-minded, please help me guys!!
