I would love to get a computer of my own since the family one can be very congested I am looking in the 600 to 700 price range for what I need I already have a gtx 770 which I'll probably replace with the gtx 970 I have a case also the Corsair graphite 230t and well that's it I guess not much else I have except thermal compund and my peripherals but I will put what I am looking to be around with specs VVVV
Atleast a i5 or 8 core fx cpu ( I was thinking the fx 8350 which is the newest) whichever is better
8gb-16gb of ram
A nice 990fx motherboard no asrock or I could take a 990 chipset make it atx I need the space
2tb hdd
no ssd
750w to 850w psu
windows 8.1 disc not download ( saves time if and when I upgrade to a new pc if needed)
A optical drive that's from this decade lol not a ide dvd drive
I have a gtx 770 so no need for a new GPU
I have a Corsair 230t orange got it while on sale on newegg so no need for a case
I have a monitor,headset/speakers,keyboard and mouse all are very good

Any help is absolutely amazing I hope you guys can help me, let the replys pour in

so you CAN sli the 770. SSD is recommended, but you don't want one so i didn't include it. 8 GB is enough RAM for gaming/light multitasking. definitely want a i5 for this build. the 4690K is unlocked so you can overclock, and the aftermarket cooler isn't the best, but great performance for the price
