Are you going to Overclock any thing like CPU or GPU ?

Do you need a monitor,OS ,keyboard mouse and headset in this price range?

I dont know what type of resolution are you going to play or if you have a 4k or tipple monitor setup so i have made this build this is a beast and will give you maximum satisfaction in gaming and its pretty much future proof.
Hope you will like it.

I LOVE IT man! thanks a ton! I edited it to for windows 8.1 OEM 64 bit, also about overclocking this system how does that work? Sense the GPU would be totally fine I would love to overclock the CPU how does one go bout doing that? and Also the 2 graphics card SLI's I dont need to do anything special to get that to work? :p
 


As i said the gtx 970 is a beast and in SLI it would out perform any card available in the market.

By CPU overclocking you can get maximum performance out of the CPU.

So you can see that Ocing the i5 4690k it will reach the performance of i7 4790.
