Need help for new gaming build $1000

[bounmee89]

Hey guys I'm looking forward to build my first PC mainly for gaming within the next week. I need some help deciding on what's best for my money. I prefer an i5 and GTX that can last for a few good years and maybe a decent motherboard. The other components are cheaper to upgrade so I'm not too picky about those. I already have monitor, mouse, keyboard. Water cooler, SSD and other fancy stuff will be added later on. Thanks!

And if possible I want the 4670k with the 760 or 770 build.

What water cooler do you have?

I don't have a water cooler yet, will add later when I have more money.

-i5 and GTX 760.
-Overclockable.
-Includes OS.
-Has one of the best heatsinks out there. Unless you plan to do your own custom water loop, the Noctua Nh-D14 beats most of the closed loop water coolers.
