$1500 Desktop build

[Stan Lee123456789]

I already have my 2nd generation i7-2600 3.4GHz processor and a 1.5 terabyte HDD. As well as monitor, mouse, etc. So I'm looking for everything else for my build. Size isn't an issue for the case but this will be used soley for gaming. To narrow it down a bit I was looking at a gtx760 or 660ti for my GPU. All suggestions are appriciated. Thanks!

You can do much better than GTX 760 with your budget, especially if you don't need to buy a CPU.

H87 and Z87 are both socket 1150 not 1155 like the I7 2600 is. You want an H77 motherboard.
