The thing is that if prices go down, that allows you to get parts that give more performance, that you couldn't get before because they were out of budget. Anyway, if you were to buy a 1050 bucks PC right now, here's what I'd recommend you :

Raid support. Are you going to do any kind of multiple HDD/SSD setup used in raid ? If so, then stepping up to H87 will obviously be necessary. The HDDs/SSDs that you'd be using for this would need to be the same model. I just assumed that since you only had one SSD and one HDD, you weren't planning on doing that.

No intention of raid.

@firo40

No man, SSD is like an addiction, I have tasted it, no going back.
Will think about the 770 though.

If you do decide on a GTX 770 get the PNY 770. It is the cheapest 770 you can buy, but don't worry, it comes with a triple fan design meaning you can overclock it to other more expensive 770 levels and get the same performance. Prices on Amazon go from $317 to $340 but you better hurry, I have it and it's great.
