mobo: ASUS Maximus VI Hero
cpu: Intel Core i5 4570K
gpu: nVidia GTX 770 (You can get eVGA if you want but I recommend ASUS DirectCU or MSI TwinFrozr)

None of these parts are out yet but they will be when you'll be buying. the GTX 770 will allow you to play all games on highest settings at 60fps at 1920x1080. The GTX 770 will be out in 2 days and the mobo and cpu next week.

sounds nice but will those fit my budget?
I mean I need a brand new pc not just those parts. I see you know what you write so could you possibly give price of those 3 and suggest about other parts?

The Maximus VI Hero is the new entry level ROG mobo so my guess is that it will probably cost about $200 but it has built in Xonar sound chip so you get good audio without having to buy a sound card. As for the cpu it will cost around the same as the 3570K does now, so about $230 and $400-450 for the GTX 770 so about $830-880 for all three. If you want to cut costs a bit you could go with the GTX 760 Ti which will probably be around $300-350 and still offer excellent performance at 1080p.

Personally I wouldn't get an SSD, I just think the cost and issues still aren't worth the benefits. A 10000RPM Velociraptor hard drive will get you more value for your money.
