-Intel i5-4670k.
-Gygabite Windforce X3 OC GTX 770.
-ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
-CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W

On Newegg this is $940 with some combos so you could still throw in a hard drive, optical drive and milti card reader.

-New haswell processor. The difference between the i5-4430 and i5-4670 is very minimal. Doesn't really justify the extra money.
-Has a HDD for mass storage and SSD for fast loading times
-GTX 770 will completely wreck nearly every game.
