Hello,


If you decide to go all out,here's a PC that will last for a very long time and has excellent performance and will run games on ultra settings for years to come.

If you want to save, you can get rid of the 16gb ram and replace it with 8gb and get a i5-4670 processor without the k. The performance difference won't be too large if you decide to do this. You can also get rid of the ssd and invest on a r9 290 aftermarket cooler model (HIS,Asus MAtrix,Sapphire Vapor-X or MSI Gaming Edition) when they arrive tot he market (the reference version beats the gtx 780 reference model by 2% margin so buying a gtx 780 is a waste in my opinion.)

If you want to use the existing parts, I suggest you grab the items Marco suggested (exluding the case. It looks ugly, just my opinion though :) ).
Hope this helps^^
