You would want an intel icore 7 4770k. For the graphics card you may want a gtx 780 3gb perhaps a little higher. I would also go for a corsair gold plus 850w psu. This is optional but you may want an SSD. Any hdd you want/need. If you are going to multi-task then I would buff up the ram to 16gb 1866mhz corsair. And I would go for a Z97 motherboard. But I would do more research and not just rely on my suggestion as you could do better.
