Build Help!

Hey everyone,

 

I'm looking to make a gaming pc for around $1200. I want to get the best bang for my buck.

 

Requirements/Specifications:

- Play games like battlefield 4 at 1440p

- Intel i7-4790k/ Intel i5-4690k (whichever makes the most sense)

- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 G1 Gaming GDDR5 Pcie, 4GB (or something else?)

- 16GB of ram (whatever fits the budget)

- SSD around 120GB

- HDD around 1TB

- Mother Board to support all this

- Nice power supply (willing to spend a little more on this)

- Cooling options (Not sure what's best)

- Any case to fit this build

- Looks aren't important

- WIFI is a must!

- Display if it can fit in the budget

 

Thanks!

Looking forward to hearing some suggestions.
