Hello everyone,

I was wondering if someone could help me put together a PC for around $1200. I have a monitor already. Any help with the cost to power ratio would be much appreciated.

This is what I have in mind after doing a little research:

atx form factor (mid-tower)

i7 skylake
Msi z170
16gb ram
nvidia 970 or 980 (considering SLI for future)
Master SSD and slave
power supply?? (Not sure how much Wattage I need)
cooling (prefer liquid, not sure of whats good out there)
