Go to solution Solved by PokémonTrainerFour,

Sorry for slightly pushing it, but here's what I would recommend.

 

 
Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($142.99 @ Newegg)

Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer  ($19.99 @ Newegg)

Total: $952.87

You can save some cash and play at 1080p with a 750TI, if you wanted.

EDIT:(sorry in advance this is a lot to read)

I have been looking up parts and even making build lists and none of them seem to really work for me. My original budget was $1000 but I cant really do that right now. This wouldn't be my first pc build. I just need help looking for things in my price range. (Edit $1000 is ok-ok but I would prefer 800-900)

 

1) Gaming Only

2) Would like to play games at least 720p-1080p at very high settings maybe not at 60 fps but not like 24fps

3) Prefer Nvidia over AMD. I have had bad customer support before and really am not willing to try again.

4) Don't care too much what brand the CPU is possible a I5 or equivalent.

5) don't care about case (200R possibly)

6) No water cooling and I am not planning to overclock (I know its free performance but I would like this pc to last a while more than if I overclocked)

 

I think that's it. I'm sorry if its a lot to ask but am kind of stuck. (I was looking at the GTX 760 or the GTX 770

 

Pc I was working on before asking for help.

Get a cheaper motherboard. You can also get a Windows 8.1 key for like $30 off G2A, which will save some more cash.

 

I don't know why everyone says you can get a key from G2A when you still need the actual iso file to install the OS.

customer support doesn't come down to the brand but the company's that sell it (idk what you call it like the people who put aftermarket coolers and overclock it), e.g. evga, msi. sapphire, and at this price point a 280x would be the best option.

Upgrades to come: CPU FAN: Corsair H100i | RAM: 2 more 4GB sticks | GPU: Another R9 270X running in crossfire | Storage: Samsung 120GB SSD | PSU: Corsair 800w

I completely agree with him, you should probably save the 50 bucks on a cheaper motherboard to keep it in your 900 dollar range but this is exactly what I would get if I was going for the same price range. However another option is get a 750ti and save about 150 and sli it later if you feel you don't have enough horse power. But keep in mind not all games like sli configs. But again, this is pretty much brilliant.
