Hi, I've been meaning to build a gaming pc for a long time but haven't actually started building it since I wanted to wait for the new nvidia 800 series but it seems that it'll be delayed.
Anyway, since prices have changed, can anyone give me a Gaming PC build for 1000$-1200$ max, including monitor preferably a 27" one. OS is not needed, thanks :)

Thanks for the reply!
Is it really that noticeable? If it is, I won't take it then. How about a 24"?

I don't understand WHY people still recommend z87's when the new z97 mobos are out '-'
That's what i'd get for 1100$
