So I'd like to build a new gaming pc here in the next couple months, but the biggest fear I have is purchasing quality parts that won't be compatible with each other. I don't have a tremendous amount of knowledge when it comes to building one, but I'm looking to build this one myself, and I would like to spend maximum $1300-1500. Other questions i have, is it possible to run either 2 storage devices or 2 graphics cards or both in my budget? I know i may be asking too much for my price range, but I want to be overall satisfied with way my computer runs when playing computer games. (WoW, BF4, and other FPS'). Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated thanks!!

Obviously if you don't need the OS and Monitor, with some tweaking we should be able to fit a 2nd GTX770.

Ok thanks for the info. Sorry to make you look that up, but i'm changing what im going to do. I realized i can save money by using some of the better parts i already have on my current comp. I'm keeping my Thermaltake 1kW power supply, my i7 processor, my fan for the processory, my HDD, and both my disc drives. What im going to upgrade to is a new full tower case, new mobo that supports my processor socket LGA1366, new graphics card, and maybe an extra storage drive not sure on that one yet. I've also been told to buy thermal paste for the mobo.
I believe it's the cause of my computer continually restarting randomly when I play video games. I've tried switching graphics card, but that didn't help. Through other testing i think that's what was causing the restarts. I've decided to get a new cpu as well. Gonna go with the AMD fx-8320 and i've got my eye on an asus motherboar at the moment.
