Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: July
Budget Range: 1500-2000euro
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching films, surfing the net
Are you buying a monitor: I need a monitor but will be buying at another time, this budget is purely for the build.
Parts to Upgrade: I need the whole shooting gallery
Do you need to buy OS: Yes and am inclined to go with windows 7. Any advice?
Preferred Website(s) I'm from Ireland so would prefer to buy from a site that can deliver to me the quickest i suppose.
Location: City, State/Region, Country - Ireland, Dublin, Blanchardstown.
Parts Preferences: Intel for processor and nvidia for graphics card but am open to suggestions.
Overclocking: Don't really understand what it is or how to do it.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe but i kinda had my eye on one gtx 690 and maybe adding a second in the future. Suggestions???
Your Monitor Resolution: Until i get a monitor i will be gaming 1900x1080 (I think) on a 47" smart t.v via a hd cable. Even after getting a monitor, i will be prone to playing 3rd person games and sports games on the t.v with a controller, as i just find it better than up close at a monitor, for certain types of games. Please don't tell me to just buy a console in that case, as i am a purely PC gamer but just have different preferences on how i like to play different genres of game. I will only ever be gaming on one monitor or on the t.v, multi-screen doesn't interest me just to let you know.
Additional Comments: I will be using it for all types of gaming but would love to be able to run all the heavy hitters such as BF4, Watch dogs, Metro Last Light, Far Cry 3, The Witcher 2 and 3, Planetside 2 on full settings without any hassle. Budget is slightly flexible to make this a reality.
Why I'm upgrading: I currently game on a dell laptop with an i7 and gtx 555m it handles games reasonably well but with the next gen of games consoles on the horizon, I no its time for an upgrade and would like to build a really decent gaming desktop.
Any and all help offered is greatly appreciated, as i mentioned its my 1st time attempting my own build as i have usually paid over the odds and just ordered off dell for my computers. I want to change this and build my own now and really need all your help. Thanks again for your time.

Also, because you would have 1 TB of ssd you wouldn't really need a storage drive unless you wanted one. Also since your budget is very very flexible having a solid modular power supply is really nice to have which is why I went with the cream of the crop in the AX series from Corsair. I went with the fan from noctua because its solid its quiet and is as good as it gets from the air cooling side. I wouldn't go with a closed loop water cooler because the pump noise can be a bother. The video card on both builds is the same because its a solid solid card excellent cooling with vapor champer/heatpipe design stronger components on the card then your normal cards would have and free games to go with it.
