Hey guys, so like the title says I would like to build myself a new Gaming PC that will be able to run everything on max settings and last me some years. I have not built a computer in a long time, so any suggestions on what to buy is much appreciated. I would like to stick around 1000$ but spending a little bit over that wont brake my bank. All ready have Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor. Need OS and I know I want to run a SSD/HD hybrid. And I always loved the idea of Water Cooling, but is it all that? Thanks for your time guys and gals.

Overclocking is when you push your cpu to run at a higher speed (For example, if your cpu is 3.0ghz out of the box, with a good motherboard and cpu cooler then you can push it to 4ghz or more). However, it does cost more.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($184.28 @ Outlet PC)

-Unable to overclock, but I included an extremely strong gpu that can max out any game at 1080p.
