So this is basically what I have in mind, prices are in New Zealand dollars (1NZD = 0.81USD) and no I can't get them cheaper in this country Cpu and Motherboard come as a bundle:
CPU and Motherboard: All come with i5-4670 and a choice of either: Asus Sabertooth Z87 ($749), GIGABYTE GA-Z87X-UD3H ($629) or Asus Z87-C ($539)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i ($180)
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) ($109)
Storage: Eh... Seagate Barracuda 2TB hardrive with Samsung pro 120gb SSD...($280)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB Vapor-X Video Card ($499) OR Sapphire HD 7970 3gb Vapor-X ($669.00)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 ($199)
Power Supply: Not sure... need suggestions...
What do you think?? I want to overclock the cpu if it helps with frame rates in games at all, I kinda want a watercooler cause they look cooler (pun?) and also leave more room in the case but maybe too expensive for my needs?
Nvidia cards are extra expensive in New Zealand for some reason... something like $860 for a GTX 670 so I don't know if they are a good idea but any improvements or suggestions I'd be extremely happy to have cause I don't want to spend this kind of money and have it go to waste!
Rather not spend any more than $2000 NZD or around $1600 USD
