Computer building advises wanted. I am new to this thing and I only did research, there are no pros around me. This computer will only be used for MMO gaming and some basic use, but i like HQ movies and shows. Please help, also my budget will be around 1000, but the less the better. I set my CUP as i5 4690, and MOBO as Asus Z97-a. 8 GB G.skill memory 1600. Samsung 128 SSD and Seagate 2TB HDD. I am not a big fan of optical drive so I will just have a stander one for OS installing. I need advice on GPU and PSU, GPU that i searched gtx 760 can be nice but I m not sure. Also I do not know if i need any extra fan of cooler.

Their no reason to get a Z97 motherboard with that processor unless your looking to add anouther card for SLI. Look at some of the H97 boards in the 100 buck range.
The 760 is a good card.
I would look at the Rosewell Capstone 550 watt has a 7 year warranty, or the 620 Watt Seasonic.

Thanks for the answer, but for H97 MOBO should I go for MSI H97 gaming 3 or MSI H97 guard pro or just Gigabyte H97 gaming 3 becasue I heard that MSI has better mobo in general
