You might have to sacrifice the i7 if you want to get a GTX 780TI, right now they're running about $699 (give or take a few bucks depending on what retailer).

Maybe try something like this:

Slightly over budget but you're looking at something like this.

So I think I can sacrifice on an i7 and a ssd too.
I saw a corsair 750 watt gold rated power supply at something like 90$ so i can improve that and Please recommend me a good case (I dont think a 500r looks good)

Unfortunately I think he wants a monitor with it too. Could probably drop the SSD and get a monitor instead. Will still be over budget though.

The case is such a subjective part of the build.

Here are a few that I personally would use:

Fractal Design R4
NZXT Phantom 410
Cooler Master HAF-XM

Well if you want a cheap case you can't beat the Corsair 200R or Antec One. If you want something a bit more then the NZXT Phantom 410 is your best bet.



Yeah I pointed that out already. If you're paying that much for a rig you should definitely get an SSD. I won't build a system without one now. The Samsung 840 Evo is an excellent low cost option and you can usually find the 120GB model for around $100. You just flat out cannot get a GTX 780 TI on a $1400 without making some sacrifices, but this isn't the area I would sacrifice.
