Hi CoPe00067!

You seem to be lacking a video card. A GTX 770 would be a good match for the i7 3770K cpu.

What would be the purpose of this build? Unless it entails a lot of data being moved about, the 32GB of ram could be downgraded to 16GB with no performance hit. Get 2 sticks (2 x8GB) for the dual channel performance increase.

The money you save from the ram can be used to purchase an SSD. If this build is for gaming, the SSD won't increase FPS, but it will dramatically speed up load times. Booting up will also be amazingly fast.

Edit: You might want to also take a look at the i7 4770K. It performs better than the i7 3770K, at a good price point.

It seems i'm slightly over budget. Is there anyway i could lower the price by a few hundred dollars without affecting the gaming performance much?
