Are you looking for good performance all around that's decent but not ridiculously expensive, something to MAX out a game on the highest settings, what kind of performance are you hoping for ? Are you looking to spend ALL of the 900 regardless or is that just max and it's okay if it is less ? It'd help us to get you a parts list that matches your expectations and budget.

You'll still need sata cables for the hard drives and an hdmi cable. you can get these from monoprice.com cheap !

This build assumes you have no parts already, like a monitor !
