New high end gaming computer- need help

[Trevenj]

So i am looking into building a PC in about 6 months from now, i am wondering was a good build would be for 2500$ or less, i need all parts except keyboard and mouse.

I will be getting back from a deployment and getting out of the armed forces and going to college so i want a high end computer for gaming and to use for school as well obviously but i want it to be able to take anything i could possibly do on it for the next 4-6 years, maybe an upgrade here or there.

I prefer Intel / Nvidia parts and non water cooling.

I just dont know what new parts are coming out in the next coming months, should i stick with the 4770k or is there newer processors coming out for around the same price and performance?

I would only need an SSD @ like 128-256gb at max. I appreciate all help, concerns and builds. Thank you for your time

no point in trying to build it now, the parts list now to then would be completely different. Come back when you're a couple weeks away from ordering.

I just finished building a $2,500 computer and it took me about 6 months to finish. granted it's water cooled, but you can you get about the same price for better parts(without overclocking). If you are going strictly gaming, I suggest getting an i5-4670k and spending the extra $100 on a bigger SSD, like a Samsung EVO 500gb, or a GTX 770 or 780 (or even a 780ti).

Thanks for serving by the way, mad respect.

Note that it has no sense staying in socket 1050 because with 4770k you would never be able to upgrade it. With this, you can upgrade to a six-core CPU like 4930k or 4960x, or even a dual CPU upgrading the motherboard!
