I am looking to build my first PC. My budget is up to around $2000. I want to game very heavily on it and am looking to max out settings on Far Cry, Battlefield, Crysis, etc. Other than that I plan to use it for my collegiate studies, and such. I need all the components, from the CPU all the way up to a monitor. Ive been looking at the GTX Titan, but it might be a little overkill. I want the Corsair Vengeance K95 and M95 as my mouse and keyboard, but all else is up in the air. All recommended builds are appreciated! Thanks for your help!

As of right now Im not confident enough in my abilities to overclock anything. I would like that option in the future, but Im looking for components that perform steller right out of the box.

Does the 770 provide enough power to run graphics intensive games at high and ultra settings?

Wow. Looks gorgeous. I hope this is my final question. Ive tried to do some reading on windows 7 vs windows 8. Is there any reason you chose to go with 7 rather than 8? other than the fact that its cheaper?
