So, I recently went to PAX south this past weekend and was able to win a Zotac GTX970 GPU. I would like to get a better one but yknow free gpu saves money for a poor college student. I was wondering if someone could put together a computer build for me w/ the Zotac GTX970 that can handle MMORPGS on pref max setting but whatever is possible is nice. I'll need a monitor (or two if you can fit it in w/ the budget) and ill be playing games such as Blade and Soul and Tera if that shines light on the mmorpg point at hand. My budget is gonna be $1000 BUT if you can do MUCH better with $1500 then I can try and scrounge up $500 more bucks. I'd prefer not to run a Water cooling system just to make sure that isn't considered and I'd like to keep it as cheap as I can but if you can just clock in alot of power for pretty cheap then that'll be fine. Thanks again for those who help :D

Look's good to me. I had my father build my last computer for me but this time I'll be building this one. I know this is a noob question but aren't I going to need to order the operating system as well?

That is a good build, the only one thing I would change is the motherboard, I would get something with usb type c.
