My last build included a GTX 580 video card and i52500K intel processor.
I'm think this was in 2011.
Anyway its time for a new Gamer as my kids have taken this one over.
I'd like to keep it under $2000 including a touch screen monitor.
I'd like a GTX video card since the previous one is doing so well.
I was playing around and came up with this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tip: When clicking the markup thing, instead of the regular setting click BBCode. It will make it look prettier, like this (your build)

Anyways. This is a very good build. But you do not need the cooler or a 3770k if you are not Overclocking. If you are overclocking, I'd go with the Z97-A motherboard. Also, Seagate is more recommended than Western Digital.

By the way, I love that case. +1.

It actually lowered the price down (always good, haha.)

I changed the CPU to the non-unlocked version, which is 30-40 dollars less. I could change it back if you want to OC in the future. I also changed the SSD from 120gb to 250, since a lot of people recommend having 250 vs 120. I changed the HDD I did not change the motherboard since it was a good one and you said you were not OCing.


Regarding the 4K Compatibility, i am not the guy to ask. I know next to nothing about 4k.
