GTX 770 2GB, no point of getting 4GB version
All corsair brand, psu HX850, cooler H110, 750D
you should pick popular Corsair SP 120 for fan, or its quite version

with the lower budget, you can freely go for GTX 780/Ti

this is what I got makes much more sense. if i need all that extra stuff i'll get it later I just want a optimal gaming experience for now. but if you could point me to an adequate case that'd be lovely. something that can fit the water cooler i selected and lots of additional fans I do intend on overclocking the cpu a bit.

I know i'm asking a lot but also if there is a motherboard with more features for around the same price you could recommend that'd be sweet i just don't stay in touch with the technology world enough to know anymore
