Case: Bitfenix Phenom white

CPU: Athlon X4 760K

RAM: 16GB of something at good value

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI mini-ITX 

PSU: Something Corsair

SSD: probably a Samsung 840 evo 240GB

CPU cooler: probably a Hyper 212 evo or similar

 

The aim would be to add an awesome gpu at a later date, perhaps a 780 or 780ti. 

 

Apologies for the vaguery in places, all other comments/tips welcome :)

 

edit: does the 760K even have onboard graphics? oops...

Are you not entertained!?

You cant do a x4 760k with a 780(ti) go down to 8gb of ram, 120gb ssd, and instead of evo 212, you'll need a low profile one.

grab a 4690k+z97 minitx for this if you can.

760k with 780, let alone 780 Ti?!

If you don't plan on adding a GPU, get an APU at least. 7850k will handle 780(Ti).

When did the highest tier GPUs become "decent"? I know it's semantics, but come on. A 760/270 is "decent". 770/280 is good and 780/290 is great. Beyond that is just awesome.

Comments read, from the top:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI mini-ITX 

PSU: Something Corsair

Would something like an H80i be a fair idea, if budget allowed?
