Buy these first items as a combo from Microcenter:

- Asus Z87 Pro Socket
- i5 4670k (4th Gen)
- Crucial Ballistix 8gb
- WD Blue 1Tb HDD
- Evga 660 2gb Card
- Corsair CX 600watt

Buy them at this link

And all alone.....

- H100i Liquid Cooler
- And other stuff.......

If you want to bring the price down, use a i5 3570k instead, and a ASrock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard. You might even be able to get a small 128gb ssd if you want to spend just a bit more. forgot the operating system, add another $100 for Windows 8.1

The current price is...... $957 (not including rebates) but.....

Switch to the third gen will save you: $60
Buying the Thermaltake TR2 power supply instead saves: $40
Also, staying with the stock cooler saves you: $100
