Us $1400 budget... Help me build my rig

[Biology]

I'm not sure what to get or where to even start... So please bare with me and help me.

I'm planning on buying all my parts on Black Friday and cyber Monday.

I'm trying to build a rig that it can expand later on as well. If I can't afford 2 gpu now, I want a system that I can expand for 2 sli later on. So basically someting that I can keep on expanding and upgrading. I'm also looking for best durability and performance.

Please give me a full specs of items I can buy to build my rig. From case gpu power supply etc. I mean a full down list of what I can buy with 1400 US dollars. I'm from California. I prefer intel over amd processor.

Thanks guys!

It goes slightly over but it could be lower if you change the windows key and buy just one gtx 970
