So I am looking to build my first PC. Wanting it to run new and upcoming games such as Battlefield 4 and Titanfall as well as DayZ Standalone to name a few. Price mark is $800-$1000 for the necessary parts (not including mouse, keyboard, the kind of stuff I can find out on my own). Thoughts?

Already had a case w/ Power Supply figured out, forgot to mention. Also was going to wait out on an SSD for a little while. But do you think I could go with a GTX760 video card instead of the 770?

this is just a peeve i have always had because you can get a 770 card for around the same price if you look around but if you want to cut back a bit further you could use this just make sure you have 600+ power supply but id still get the sabertooth because i like the sabertooth series allot

Is a copy of Windows needed? What kind of dollars are you using?

Also was going to wait out on an SSD for a little while.

Why wait?
