MOTHERBOARD: ASUS Z87-C MOTHERBOARD S1150 159.95$
COOLANT/FAN: CORSAIR H100 CPU COOLER 119.95$
RAM: KINGSTON 16GB KHX1600 KIT 174.95$
GPU: ASUS GTX770 DIRECTCU2 2GB DDR5 379.95$
HARDDRIVE: WD 2TB BLACK (7200/64MB) (5 Year Manufacturer's Warranty) 169.95$

Best solution
I would never pay $50 let alone 200 to have someone build it for me. I see that as a big waste.
Your build has problems:
-locked CPU with expensive cooler and overclocking motherboard.
-last gen CPu/motherboard
-unless you are rendering 16gb RAM is too much and a waste of money. Get 8gb for gaming.
Change to an i5 4690k and a z97 motherboard if you want to OC. If not, get an i5 4460, and a h97 board and drop the cooler.
Also, I would ditch the blueray writer for sure unless you PLAN to use it alot.

I think i will drop the blueray because ill prob not use it seeing as i can just get on for less for a tv, Im also going to keep the 16gb ram since i play minecraft sometimes and also run a server for it

I agree with tiny voices. I would add the following:
-For your cooler the Hyper 212 is a lot cheaper and comes pretty close to the performance of a watercooler. Its also a great cooler if you plan on OC.
-Take a look at the LG blueray writer. I believe its about half the price.
-Search for all your parts on Amazon.com. I'm sure you will be able to find additional discounts there.
-If you can find them, don't be afraid to look for factory refurbished items. These usually have the same warranty as new and undergo a higher level of inspection as opposed to items coming straight off a production line.
One other thought in regard to future proofing. For your GPU take a look at the 4 gb options. Not many games are currently supporting this but in time many will.
Have fun with the build!

This build has issues, but I won't even go into them as it is $600 more than OPs build and he was talking about budget with his build originally. This build has ALOT of wasted money.

You have no need for more RAM for gaming. That would be pointless.the PSU is crazy as well. get an Antec, XFX, Seasonic 650w bronze unit.
Drop the cooler too. It has no place on a non-overclocking build.
Agreed about the PSU.And RAM. Cooler is cheap and might be useful on heavy loads ?

It was a real pleasure.
I like helping people on that builds, comparing stuff and so on.But, what are you going to buy now? That cheaper build also DOES NOT INCLUDE WINDOWS.
Are you going to buy a monitor ?
TBH I have found decent monitors for a quarter of the price you had, I will prob look for a cheap windows 8 if possible,I also know you guys said 16gb ram is useless but ill prob get it anyway

Decent? How decent? I thought my TN 1920X1080 21.5" Acer was "decent" when I bought it.
It is not. I somehow managed to get a very bad monitor with bad viewing angles, only D-SUB input and little screen.
I wish I spent more and got an IPS 23".
Also be careful when buying Windows.
I dont think you understanded what i meant by i found decent monitors? i meant like i have found decent monitors for less of a price, with no knowledge of the one you told me about.

Yeah, I have understood you but I could not say what I meant
What monitors have you found? Post here.
A monitor may seem fine on paper, but you should search the internet for reviews and stuff about it.
You know your oc build i got 2 green lights, i think it might be my next comp thanks for your help
