Hello all,
For a school research topic, I have set out to plan/build a gaming computer that can play the latest games at high settings comfortably at around 60 fps whilst spending below $1300 (the money i have saved up). Going for a Intel (planning to overclock)/ Nvidia set-up i have only chosen few parts:

CPU: Intel i5 4670k
GPU: Nvidia GTX 760

My question is: as im planning to overclock, what cooling solution and motherboard would you recommend?
Any other suggestions for parts would be appreciated but i just need a place to start.

Thanks in advance

For your school project, do you need an OS, monitor, keyboard, or mouse?

Nope, just the inside components of the case and the case itself
