This is the build I was thinking about:
Intel Core i5 4670K $275.00
Palit GeForce GTX 770 Jetstream 4GB $519.00 (too expensive)
Western Digital AV-GP 1TB WD10EURX $89.00
Corsair Neutron Series 128GB SSD $159.00
Corsair CMP8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 $112.00
ASRock Z87 Extreme4 Motherboard $195.00

Sub-Total: $1349.00

I have a case, moniter, keyboard, etc
This also lacks a psu as I am not sure which one to use for this build (or similar)
my budget is actually around $1200 so this is way over (though I might be able to find another hundred if i really needed it) and I have windows home premium
I intend to use this computer for gaming and mainly for Guild Wars 2. Also I am not sure if computers need a sound card these days...

This would be a great built because

1.it uses latest haswell and this is a 1150 socket built which would give u path to upgrade later
2.cm 212 evo with decent o.c. Performance u can go upto 4.3ghz
3.corsair vegeance pro 8gb
4.2x gtx 760 which would give you more power than a GTX titan
5.a quality 750w tier 2 supply
6.good corsair 400r case
7.best performing samsung pro drive

I have an old solid metal server case from work (what I planned to use) should I save the $60 and stick with that? Also I live in Australia so unfortunately the prices wouldn't be as low for me, this means that to get down to the same overall price I would need to drop the second gpu. :p
Thanks for the help and the prompt response!

That is very similar to what i was thinking (I was even going to buy from pccg) but I was going to drop the second gpu and take an ssd (and save a few hundred $$ while at it) I know ssd's can dramatically increase start up speed and load times when you put the games onto them, would the second gpu be a better option?

This is the revised build for the computer, I was just wondering whether a 750w psu would be enough or whether 850w would be more appropriate. Although to keep prices down I might have to buy just 1 gpu then buy another in a year or so. we'll see
thanks for the help.

tbh I would just leave out the second gpu for a few years and then buy it along with some more ram later to save money :D
thanks alot for the help!
