Choose the one you like more. The GTX 770 SLI beats a single GTX 780 , but does take more power leaving no room for OCing the CPU plus more heat ( not really a lot but still ) The choice is yours , Heat + Performance or Less performance + less heat + more OCing headroom. Also note both setups do satisfy the needs you mentioned. And the i7 Ivy Bridge is given because Haswell generates a lot of heat.

Hey Sandy!

I am also looking for a pc for $2000 well euros actually but anyway. I have been doing a lot of research and I have found most parts. I am an asus/msi fanboy but here is what my build looks like and it should be able to run everything on ultra!

Central Processing Unit: Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H80i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Still unsure looking at Kingston HyperX Blu/red or Corsair Vengeance
Storage: HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
SSD: Samsung 840 Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Graphics Card: Asus Geforce GTX 670 4GB
Case: Coolermaster Haf X Full tower
Power Supply: Not sure yet
Optical Drive: Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
Monitor: Im thinking of getting this one! Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor

Those are the parts that I will get and you can upgrade the GPU for example or anything else. The monitor has 144hz and 3D. For perhipherals get Steel series or Razer!

I hope I helped -- Alex

Nope , sorry to say but your PC can't go above Very High on 1080p for near future games too. You need a GTX 770. If the GTX 670 was in SLI , thats another case. Plus even that one can't go on for more than 2 years ( less TBH , but should , who knows ) So thats why I suggested a GTX 780 or a SLI GTX 770.

Some nice suggestions given here. Any alternative mobo for Extreme 4?

I will go with the first rig as of now. And 22" monitor feels very small to me honestly.

Also suggest me a 1440p monitor and Keyboard/Mouse.
