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?

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?
