1300 Dollar Computer

[creativename]

Suggestions for a 1300 dollar computer. Its for a friend, and all I'm going to ask is to include a 240gb ssd and a gtx780 and a define r4. No other requirement. He only plays BF4 and LoL
 

 

Please don't forget the operating system. Hardware alone will do nothing.

Well I could drop my build down to a FX 8320 and a 990FX motherboard instead of the 4670K and the Z87 board. That would allow room for the OS.

He said he is in the US but you did your's on the Canadian PCPartPicker. If you go with your build on the US website it will be fine I think

Also, a HDD is unncessary. He only plays BF4 and LoL 240gb is all I need.

 

 

And I somehow made it work.. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3l3ME i think. Not quite sure yet though.
