thank you so much for your answers , well id say mid range without all the fluff , id like to be able to upgrade various parts but id say around $1000+ for everything , the core parts being the gpu ,cpu and memory , im very unsure about planning the build but im definitely going to go for your suggestions

For PSU you'll want something from Antec, Corsair, EVGA, Seasonic, PC powe and Cooling, or XFX. NEVER buy a cheap PSU as it can fail on you and destroy your PC components

For RAM, any brand is fine, G Skill, Corsair, and Crucial being my favorite brands
 
Skip Corsair for the PSU. Too complicated tosort out which are good and bad. For EVGA only go for the B2, G2, P2 series. everything else is mediocre.

Also, get a 2gb 760, not a 4gb one unless they are the same price. You will get nothing out of the 4gb version over the 2gb one.

This +1. Corsair is either really good or really mediocre and EVGA is mostly good, but have some meh units. Also avoid the Antec Basiq series. Only get a 2gb 760 if you don't plan to SLI
