Do not really know what to buy, so I would like some help  :)

1. Budget & Location
My budget is around 16000 swedish krona (2350USD could go as high as 2500 USD). I am going to buy some parts from Sweden.(Prisjakt.nu)

2. Aim
The main aim is gaming and using Microsoft word and stuff but mostly gaming from games like lol to counter strike to battlefield 4 on high or ultra graphics .  

3. Monitors

 no monitors included in this budget 

4. Peripherals

no peripherals included either

5. Why are you upgrading?

Don't have a pc was a console gamer

i want to have a fractal design r4  case 

well i also like Asus so i want an Asus motherboard a z97 board if possible

i also don't like crossfire so only one sli Asus graphic card for now ( i will get a second later when i want to upgrade to 4K) preferably  a Gtx780 ti from Asus heard it runs cooler than others .

  and also so i want this build to be 4k ready ( what i mean is that all i have to do when i get more cash will be to get a 4k monitor and add a second graphic card) remember i hate crossfire so non of that pls.

So what do you think is the best build for this price ?​ :)

850 Watt would be fine but i chose the 1000W for expandibility, incase you would like to add a second 780 down the line. You could use an Air cooler if you like but the reason i chose the h100i water cooler was if you wanted to overclock the cpu.

 

You could switch out the water cooling for a Noctua NH-U12S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler  ($49.99 @ NCIX US).
