Hello,

I need help with build suggestions for my first PC build. I have no experience building PCs or choosing parts like power supplies and motherboards. My budget is $700 (I can probably go a few dollars over).

I don't need an OS (I plan on putting Windows 8 or 10 on it), don't need monitor, don't need keyboard or mouse. That is all taken care of.

I so far have decided I want EVGA GeForce GTX960:

and I plan on using an Intel Core i5 processor on it. Want to stay away from other brands of video cards and processors ideally.

I need help constructing the rest of the build, I don't know what parts are compatible, whether it'll fit in the case, etc. So build suggestions are what I'm requesting.

I'm planning on using the PC for gaming (like the Metal Gear game that comes with the video card), and internet browsing, and work. Also, I have to buy from BestBuy's website, hence the links.

I hope my info was sufficient. Looking forward to your replies. Thank you very much!
