I do not have any of the parts in order to make my computer. My budget for the total project is 1,300. Obviously i want to save money but i want a Desktop with a nice black red case or appealing but most of all i want to run my games at ultra. BF4, Tera, Wildstar, Archeage, Crysis 3 but have a very high fps. I do not know where i should start besides a Intel i5 and Nvida graphics card.

You'll need an Z-97 Mobo, a potent, probably 650W PSU, make sure the MOBO fits in the case you want, i.e. ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX, etc... and make sure you get the right RAM (DDR3 1600 or above) any HDD, and plug it in. Reference Youtube if you need help putting it together. FYI, GTX 970 is the card to get. You don't have to get NVidia though, AMD makes some great cards as well. Overall, you could get a decent machine for under $1300 that will run everything at Ultra on 1080p.

This case doesn't have a 5.25" drive, but you can just grab a cheap external CD burner and use that to install Windows. Gaming these days is all via download, so it's pretty rare that you use a CD drive.

I was hoping to have the monitor and keyboard and mouse included in the build, not including a taller tower for more space, and customization.
