I will reply with a build. I won't include an i7 4770k because it is just not necessary at all for gaming

At this budget, you definitely want an i7 for longevity, I agree.

Sorry I didn't know a game recommended i7. From my knowledge an i5 was all you needed for basically all games

 

[HiTechObsessed]

Updated my build to get you 3 1080p monitors for Surround. Don't limit yourself to a pair of 770s at this high of a budget. You'll get max settiings with this in everything

Or you could go the CPU route and build this for ultimate performance in Watch Dogs, Crysis 3, etc.

Way too focused on the wrong areas Joseph. The 4770k is more than powerful enough for Watch Dogs and Crysis, especially when overclocked. Your build is blowing money away on the CPU, SSD, HDD, PSU and optical drive where it should be going to the GPU.

Not all games can be maxed out @ 60 fps with three displays, so here's a nice big single display added to the build.

+1 to HighTechObsessed indefinitely. Also for the 3 way monitor.

However I would switch to a Cooler Master Eisburg. MAX OC. With latest tech.

 

[HiTechObsessed]

I always forget about their new Eisburg lol I'm just so used to automatically going H100i cause I've had great luck with my H60. Definitely something to look into, OP.
