I know flat to nothing about actually building a computer, but it seems simple. I might just pay someone to put it together, but everyone is telling my building my own would be cheaper then buying a pre-built. I have a budget of about 1400 to spend , but I wouldn't wanna spend it all. I want to have a i7 and a 770, MAYBE a 780 if It could get in budget, but I don't know. Any help building this will be very MUCH appreciated. I just don't understand what goes with what on the parts. THANKS IN ADVANCE ! <3
First ever build need HELP. (1400 budget)

my questions :
where do you live? $1400 could be USD/CAD
does your budget include monitor and OS?

This should be perfectly for your needs.
If you really want an i7, you might want to cut out the SSD or something.
