Hi, I want to build a gaming rig for around 1,200 US$ Can someone give me a complete build.

I am thinking an i5-4690k and either a nvidia 970 or 980.

Any help will be useful.

Thanks,

John

This is for the max raw performance possible, you can remove one 970 and grab an ssd, os and accessories and buy an other gpu if you want in the future
