What would be the best PC that i can build for gaming thats within $1000 or so. I would need to get everything excluding a HDD, OS, and case. I also have no preference of AMD or intel for cpu or NVIDIA and AMD for gpu. Also my budget is a little flexible so if you go over $1000 by a little thats fine.

More about : build 1000

This could probably benefit from a bit of scrutiny, but it opens up the discussion a bit and maybe gives you some ideas.

The extra fans I put to replace the case fans in case you wanted to add just the slightest flash to your build. I'm not a great builder though, still have a lot too learn. Hope you find a good one for you.

Would a GTX 770 be better or the Radeon R9 280X?

Alright thanks I really like the build. At the bottom of the page it says "G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum." Is this anything to worry about?

The GTX 770 will heres a page you can look at on it. It has a higher clock rate.

The 2400mhz ram is not needed. 1866mhz is what most gaming rigs use. I spun off someone else build and didnt notice that
