$1500 dollars isn't too horrible for an i5 gtx 780 combo but that motherboard is B85. If you want to overclock you are going to want a Z87 or Z97 motherboard not a B85. Liquid Cooling a stock processor isn't exactly smart.

Just some thoughts. Also the 850Watt PSU is really overkill. You shouldn't need more than 600-650W.

If its just going to be used mainly for gaming you may want to look at AMD processors. They are cheaper and overclockable. You could probably pick up an an 8320 and mobo with the cool master hyper 212 evo for round about a $100 cheaper and overclock it to circa 4.4Ghz. You wont notice any difference in performance in games and you have the added benefits of AMD CPU's being backwards compatible with older sockets, so when you want to upgrade your CPU in the future you wont necessarily have to get a new motherboard.

I would try to get something similar to the list above. If you can get the new devil canyon I5 or whatever as it has better cooling stuff in it.

Either build a computer like the second one schau314 listed. Or see if Ibuypower can build one like it.

First off, this is not the place for this post. Make a new thread.
Second, for a total of $1344 they are losing money, the parts alone cost more than that from a consumer price point. Plus the fact that they build it for you and give you some periphs with a 3yr warranty.
Third, delete your post and make a new thread with it.
