I am looking for a new build but I am not very decisive and can't decide what to get. I want an intel build, that much I know.
I have the RAM that I need, 8 gigabytes of Corsair Vengence pro black edition socket 1155.

I don't need a monitor or the RAM

However I do need an operating system
I'm not planning on overclocking

Thank you for responding.

I will be purchasing this within the next two weeks.

I did go with not so fast GPU but it still good. You can OC it really near mach GTX 770 performance.
