Hello Everyone
The school is just starting and I am looking for a nice PC build. Originally I was looking for a 2,500 PC but then I realise it was too expensive so I went to a cheaper budget. I have been searching around endlessly but, I have not find what fits me yet. My only requirements are that it has at least 16 gigabytes of RAM, a GTX 770 graphics card, a non.liquid CPU cooler that allows great overclocking. I will personally would like to have the Corsair 650D case, a 250 gigabyte SSD and 1 Terabyte hard drive. I will like this computer to be meant for a personal workstation with multiple purposes such as hard gaming, surfing on the web, watching movies and videos. In addition I would like this computer to also be helpful with work.
P.S Please have a list of the parts with links so I can order them online. ( PCPartPicker would be a good site I am familiarize with it).
Thank You , Please reply as soon as possible

This would be a good build with some of the best parts there is. You have the best air cooler, with a great motherboard, the most powerful single-gpu graphics card, an excellent power supply and finally the 750D which is basically a refresh of the 650D

Mine comes at 1200$, 1600$ if you crossfire 2xR9 280X, which is WAAAAY faster.I'm not sure this is helpful for him, you can have completely different builds for different budgets and needs. I for example, have settled on a $1300 build. And two r9 280Xs are not much faster than a 780 Ti. "Overall the two R9 280X cards are performing really well and there is no doubt the two of them are seriously quick, actually, on average they're 9.1 pecent quicker than one GTX 780 Ti." http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?pa...
And I would personally go for the best single graphics card option I can afford, as this helps drastically if I want to upgrade in the future, as I could just add a second card. While adding a third card to a crossfire configuration, won't scale well. As for the components, I gave him the best he could have for his budget, IMO. But that doesn't mean he can't go any lower, he could get an r9 290x or a gtx 780 and get really good performance, or even an r9 290.

Ok, so you might actually use the extra RAM and hyperthreading. You could go with a GTX 780, or even an r9 290 if you want to go lower, any of these will be better than the 770. With your requirements, you could get a good build with a 780 for 1600 with some adjustments.
BTW, Will you be overclocking? Edit: Nevermind, just checked your first post again.

You could get something like this, the difference between this one and the one before that is:
1. A gtx 780 instead of a gtx 780 Ti.
2. A more budget-oriented motherboard, but it is still a very good motherboard.
3. The cooler is a bit cheaper, but it is still an excellent cooler.
If you want to lower the build even further, you could go with an i5-4690K, which is enough for any game out there. Or if you want hyperthreading but don't mind not being able to overclock, the Xeon E3-1231 V3 is about $60 cheaper than the i7, and it's very close in terms of performance.
You could also go with your first option, the gtx 770, but with your budget, I wouldn't settle for anything lower than an r9 290.
