Hello, I'm finally at the point that I feel I should build my own Gaming PC. I would appreciate some suggested builds.

I'm looking to make a Gaming Desktop PC for around $1,200.
I'm looking to get 45-60+ FPS in most modern games at high to Ultra settings, i.e; Battlefield 4, DayZ (even though it has bad optimization), Metro: Last Light, etc.
A lot of people say I ought to eventually overclock, so preferably K series intel processor.
I need All the computer necessary computer parts (obviously), Win7 Home Prem 64bit OS, a SSD, an air cooling fan, and a 1920 x 1080 Monitor around 23".

He beat me to it. I would definitely recommend the build, but you could save a little on the PSU. Heres a good one:

Includes 5 year warranty and I believe it is semi-modular

Wasn't sure about that so I looked at reviews and it ranges from 4-5 stars on every website I looked at. And the 5 year warranty will keep your PSU up long enough for you to upgrade if that ever was to happen to you.
