Hey guys, I had a build I was going to make but sadly, it was too close to my budget and I would be left without a penny to my name, SO... I'm asking someone if you could take the time to help me out, to build me a computer from scratch. I only ask a few things,
1. It must have windows 7
2. It must be UNDER 1000 dollars, I would like it near 950 or so.
3. I want it all to be compatible with the Zalman Z11 plus case, (Include that in the build as I dont have it but I want it.)
If anyone could take the time to do this it would be awesome, I don't need a monitor so I just need the Case and all the components. Thank you to anyone who even took the time to read this, let alone those who help me out.

Whoops I didn't mention this but I want this computer to be a GAMING computer, I want it to be able to run BF3 on Ultra seeing as that is the benchmark now a days, And I would also like to be able to run future games no problem! Thank you!

Um no, I said it above that I dont need anything but the case and components to it :) overclocking... yes but I would need a good CPU cooler to go along with it.

I would like the Zelman H11 case, because I like the ventilation it gets and the color combines well with my Mouse/keyboard. Also I would like the new Haswell intel processors.

The 7950 is not as strong as the 770, obviously. But depending on what games you'll be playing, the 770 may be un-necessary.\

Edit: Didn't see that you wanted the haswell processor. It's really hard fitting a haswell gaming system in $1000.

I like all the builds a lot, but the first one catches my eye the most because I plan on playing Elder scrolls online and BF4 when they come out, so the better card is better for me in the long run, But isn't the V card better than the processor by a lot? Won't that limit the power of the card?

Thats why you're suppose to overclock. Once you overclock it, it shouldn't be bottlenecking the 770. You can always upgrade the processor to a FX-8320. It's pretty much a FX-8350 running 500mhz slower and ~$50 cheaper. Once you overclock the fx8320, you shouldn't notice any bottleneck
