Hey guys I just want help choosing a 1000$ build. I'm in the US East and mainly will use it for school and tons upon tons of gaming (mainly dota 2 though). I'm not sure if I require and mouse and headset, for I have the Corsair m95 and Raptor HS40 but if you feel the need to add them in then feel free. Only thing I would require is to build around the gtx 770. Thanks guys and happy building!

Seems fair enough, thanks... the 290 out preforms the gtx 770 I'm guessing?
