Hey guys, I'm looking to build a computer for gaming at max settings on a 1080p monitor, games like BF4, Metro: LL, Crysis 3, and the such. My budget is $2,000 including an OS. Thanks.

USA. Prefer i5-4670k, ROG mobo and a nice case (i.e. Corsair 750d). Open to most anything for the other parts. Panning to OC.
