I need one with these components:

I need to also be able to upgrade parts in the future. Let me know what gaming desktop you recommend based on my needs .

Hi... I know I said I need a desktop with i7 and Nvidia 970. But $935.59 is expensive since the monitor and keyboard aren't included. What if we substitute in an i5 instead of i7? And include a 960 instead if a 970? And no SSD; I'll include that later.

Can we reduce the overall price even further?? Mind you, I need to buy monitor and keyboard.
