OR based on the website you are using

CPU Cooler
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23&products_id=22829 - $45.00

CPU
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=187_1490&products_id=23495 - $265.00

Motherboard
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_1491&products_id=23633 - $285.00

Hard drives
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_902_1006&products_id=22453 - $159.00

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_344&products_id=19554 - $99.00

Power Supply
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_354&products_id=22420 - $105.00

Graphics Card
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1486&products_id=23787 - $399.00


Total $ 1357.00

Take away the SSD drive and you should be on 1200 odd.

Edit:Forgot to add case :\
Anyway. leave the SSD. Maybe consider going for a 3570k CPU and 1155 motherboard. Add the case and try get the 770 or even 780 (or AMD Cards). Your budget allows it. Just depends on where you are going to cut

How about this:

CPU: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=21807

CPU Cooler: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=22829

MOBO: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=21201

GPU: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25511

PSU: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=18539

CASE: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=18956

HDD: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=19554

SSD: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=24741

Total price is $1204. You can even go with an R9-280x ( http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25328 ) and you still won't get past 1300.

What do you think? Or are you set to go the Intel way?

ok, you can do this then:
CPU: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23495

MOBO:http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_1491&products_id=23566
I have the same motherboard, and it's pretty great, very happy with it.


It will only be $32 extra for the intel side :)
You can even put the R9-280x again, and you will be at $1314
