Hello guys! I am planning on building a non-liquid cooled system for $2300 exactly, or less. My current parts list may need some improving (I have built around 4 computers before). Please weigh in! I want to make sure I get the most bang for my buck. This is going to be a GAMING machine over all else.

CPU: Cheapest i5 Haswell
RAM: 8 Gigs Cheapest variety Red color (To fit color scheme)
Motherboard: Some Cheap Red/Black one from MSI (to fit color scheme)
SSD: 256GB Samsung Pro
GRAPHICS: Two GTX 770's
POWER: EVGA Supernova 1k (To fit color scheme)
COOLING: H105
FANS: All Red LED
 
Solution
Cheaper than ModernWarfare's build and will perform the exact same along with your Red/black scheme just change the case while the motherboard already has that nice color scheme.
