Looking to build a gaming rig on Cyber Monday -$1200+

[gt1310]

Hello!

Just like most of the people on the forum I have been browsing the deals today and with my current system aging faster than ever I was looking for some help. I'd like to build a gaming rig with a better i7, 980 or 980ti (would pay little extra for ti), 16gb ddr4, and with a comfortable PSU and SSD.

Does anyone see any good deals on components for a system that would include the above?

Thank you very much!

I really believe that the i7 would be complete overkill, the i5 is extremely well suited for what you are wanting to do. Plus it safes you over $200.
