go with i5 2500k. OC the hell out of it. (Assuming your water cooling with that budget).
GTX 680.

Rest is up to you.

Oh, get an SSD, it is worth every penny

GPU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Motherboard: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
RAM: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Hard Drive: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
SSD: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
PSU: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
OP Drive: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Case is really a personal preference though. I assume that you will be oc'ing at this budget also.

Agreed, but if he really has the money, get the new Titan Card. It's really amazing.

Not as amazing as 7970s in Crossfire. There are few reasons to buy the Titan and they all involve having more than one of them as well as 1440p+ monitors.

Here's a build for $1300. You can easily spend less and some parts could change depending on your preferences.
