Also, will you overclock? If yes, do you specifically want to OC or do you not really care?

Not going to get a 970 in there unfortunately, also going to have to get the OS the free way and add an SSD later on. However this is a good build which will get you going. Also get the keyboard and mouse you want when you have the money, but for now anything will do.

ok heres a questions isn't the R9 290 better then the GTX 960. Also how do i get windows the 'Free' way.

EDIT: Also, everyone seems to faceoff the and 8350 and the i5 4460 and 4950k, what are the advantages of each, i get that the 8350 is awesome for multitasking basically useless because who can do 8 things at once.

I just took the build TB posted and put a 970 on because you said you could go up to 1200 maybe. Its sitting right at 1200 after rebates.

yes the 290 is better, but again your not gonna get it within your budget. Also you will need a decent 3rd party card because the reference card is a heater.
Google it, due to site rules we can't say.
but it involves peg legs, eye patches and people going "arrrrr" ;)

EDIT: didn't see the 1200 budget if needed...
Would get this 970 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
