With Haswell coming out recently, I figured it was time to finally build myself a new computer. I currently have a budget of around $1400 (USD), but can go slightly higher if necessary. I'd like to have an SSD as a boot drive if it fits into my budget. I will need all the components, as well as an OS and a monitor

I was thinking of going with a 4670k CPU, and a GTX 770 as my graphics card.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Now if I had $100 more, I'd beef up the power supply to get the system ready for future SLI:

Nice Parts List, but the OP stated that they also need an OS + Monitor...which at best will be around 220.00 extra (for OEM W7 and Decent 1080p Monitor...which Im assuming is your target res given the budget).

@timis...you can shave some $ here and there: Graphics (GTX 670/7950 vs GTX 770), Smaller SSD/HDD (120GBSSD/1TBHDD), Memory (8GB is plenty for 99% of general applications and ALL games). You can also look to make an IvyBridge build...there may be some great deals out there for 3570K and z77 boards.

Good Luck Friend, congrats on the new Build!
