Not sure if this is the correct place to post this so Sorry in advance if I post in the wrong section!
Hi guys I'm gonna be getting a new PC soon and I was told to go here for help. I was hoping to get a 780 EVGA Super Clocked GPU. Like I said I'm fairly new to the scene and I'm not sure how to build one myself.I'm also fairly intimated by building one myself as I don't know the intricacies of doing so. I'm currently using the site ibuypower.com and I'm not sure where to start any help would be great! Thanks for you time!

Welcome to the world of Build-making!
$2400 is a TON of money to build for your first build, and so, what do you need it for?
And for $2400, you have a lot of money to burn off, so I recommend checking performances and such.

Either way, remember to always make builds using PCPartPicker.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($324.98 @ SuperBiiz)

I'll be using it strictly for Gaming.
I.E. Next gen Games Watch Dogs, and some next gen MMO's. I'd like to play with max setting while still retaining high FPS.
I'm also just using a single monitor a BENQ XL242TE might be getting a monitor further down the line but that not important for now.

Oh well, for that, $1700 is plenty enough. This honestly would almost max out everything thrown at it.
