I have a budget of 1,300 that I would be willing to spend on a gaming PC. I will not be over clocking any components. I would prefer to purchase all parts from newegg. I don't need keyboard/mouse/monitor. I would like to make certain that this PC is future proof. .Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

I went with the overclocking "K" CPU, Z87 chipset motherboard, and CPU cooler because they don't add much cost to the system and the cooler is quieter than the stock cooler. It will also leave the overclocking option open just in case you get the bug sometime in the future. :)

If you go with this build you will want to get a PSU with 80+ Gold Certification.
