no operating system, so if you need one of those you could knock off the SSD. There's also some room to work around that GPU, maybe save some and go 970, or go big for the 980ti, but at $1100 you're probably looking at an about $400 GPU, and the best for the money at that price point is teh 390x I think, although we could have a whole thread long debate about GPUs, best to go elsewhere to find out what GPU you want and why (what resolution you use, whterh you want VR, etc...)
 
Do you also need OS or peripherals?

Thanks for the build oknaline but the PC case is to expensive... How about the NZXT S340 or the FRACTAL S DESIGN. And trie to add or upgrade something now that PC case price is lower... Thanks again!
 
Since you wont overclock this the strongest gaming build you could buy: haswell i5 + GTX980 + 16GB RAM.
