I am looking to build the best possible gaming desktop for under $900 and would like any assistance that I can get. I do not need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. I also have an extra copy of Window 7 Ultimate 64bit to use for this computer. I have been trying it myself, but it seems like lots of people here are much better at it than I am. I appreciate the help and thank you.

Curious, Copy the BBCode, not the parts text. This will provide a nice neat list with links, not a jumbled mess.
Also, you can do much better for $900 for pure gaming.

That Cooelrmaster PSU is BAD. Change it to an Antec, XFX, Corsair (not CX, CS, RM), Seasonic unit.

This is what I would do. Basically the build posted above with a better PSU. The gtx770 and r9 280x perform about the same.
