Never built a PC myself before. Gonna try my hand at it now.

I have a budget of $1800-1900, I will need a Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse as well.

Some more info: I would prefer 4th Gen intel, Caviar Black 1TB HDD and Crucial 256 gigs SSD.

I will be buying it within two weeks max.

Thanks!

If you chose to get a non-mechanical keyboard instead and an SSD with a smaller capacity, you could easily fit the 780 into this build. But I honoured your drive requests and managed to easily fit under the $1900 budget. You may want to consider changing either the mouse or the keyboard, however, as one has a green LED and one has a red LED, which may not be to your taste. :)

assuming the keyboard was a mechanical switch keyboard and the mouse is a proper gaming mouse, then its worth looking at

It's Craigslist...you get what you find and choose. The point is you can save a bit of money on a keyboard and mouse especially, both of which have a high probability of working just as well as they did on day one.

You are most likely fine with a 128gb SSD, but if you need a 256, you will have to pay $100 more, or sacrifice the GPU :(

I'd suggest paying the $100 more...

But both of the builds I suggested have 3D 144hz monitors so you could cut back on those if necessary.
