Good Gaming Build for Under 1k

[Broba Fett]

This is my build so far:
1. Intel i5 4670K Haswell
2. MSI Z87-G45 Motherboard
3. G.Skill 4GB x 2 Ripjaws
4. Asus GeForce GTX760 OC DirectCU II
5. 1TB HDD
6. Corsair GS-700 PS

Thoughts? Is this a good build for gaming or could I get better for the money with some parts? Thanks

Well, if you're not an overclocker, you could get an Intel Xeon E3 1230 V2/V3 and a cheap motherboard.
The Xeon 1230 V2 is the equivelent of the Core i7 3770k, but cheaper.

This way you can put more money into the graphics card.
I suggest going for a HD 7970 OC/GHZ.

You also get three games for free this way.

This comes just a bit over budget, but I think it is about as good as you can get for $1000
