I'm looking for an Intel build with a gtx 770 for around 1000 bucks.

Do not need mouse, keyboard, windows, cd drive.

or if it is too much hassle, are the builds from October in the sticky still relevant?

If you could go an extra 34 bucks you could get yourself this demon which will easily do you a good few years!

It's USD, thanks a bunch for the two PC Part Picker lists i definitely like the 770 build :D 

In a larger budget would it be more efficient to use a i5 4670k and a cooler for overclocking rather than spending 200 more dollars for the 14% performance increase in the 780?

Do you live near a microcenter? They have the 4670k for $199 compared to the regular $225 price tag.
