I found this prebuilt while looking for computers: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883230007

I would like to see if anyone could beat this prebuilt with about this same price or about $800 with a custom build. I would like to keep the GTX 960 and an intel i5 (preferably an i5 4590, since i saw it on May's Gaming CPU's for the money). I would definitely want 1tb hard drive instead of the 500 gb hard drive on the prebuilt.

Thanks to all that help!

neither cpu needs cpu cooler but 4690k (4590 cant) can be overclocked so if you do overclock you need the cpu cooler but its your choice.
