Want to build a gaming rig under $700. This 700 bucks means that it will contain cpu , PSU ect but not GPU and peripherals cos I have saved $1000 for GPU ( gtx 880) and Razer peripherals.
Please explain your choice. Thanks in advance:love:

i5 rules in gaming, and will rule in future too due to its OCablility.
8GB RAM is enough for a couple of years, you may upgrade it later down the road.
Good CPU cooler for moderate OC to about 4.4-4.5GHz.
An absolutely awesome OCing MoBo for some really good OCing.
120GB SSD + 1TB HDD.
A value for money case and a good PSU.
