Need budget, and what you are going to use it for.  Also if you want overclock at all.  First glance, i7 is overkill.

[insayan]

Don't get the 960 unless you want to save electricity. 

[Slash003]

Get more RAM. 8GB total minimum. And change the i7 to a 4790k. Incase you ever want to overclock

[pr3zidentas]

Thanks for help! I want gaming - work pc (photoshop, video editing) and my budget 1000$.I don't think I need owerclock. Any ideas for components?

[Enzo_Mofo]

also 4gb ram isnt enough, at least 8

 

try and get 2x4gb so you have room to upgrade later

I suggest an i7-4690k, EVGA GTX 970, and at least 8gb ram is a MUST for a content creation/gaming build. You could always pick up a 500gb HDD and get an SSD later. i7-4790 will NEVER reach its full potential with 4gb ram and a 960

[Mew]

Upgrade the i7 to the 4790k, get more ram, get a more powerful or less powerful geforce card that is priced at a good value, not the 960 which is a poor value. Also choose an operating system unless you're planning on hackintoshing it.

Did it support Nvidia 3D vision? I like to try stereoscopic gaming.

No but it does support HD3D, same thing but by AMD. You'll still need a 3D capable screen of course.

Here is a fairly old video about it where Linus explains what it is: 

 

I do however think 3D will only be a headache and probably quite literally so.

[soak]

Isn't the GTX 960 good for performance/$? It's not the most powerful, but it costs a helluva lot less than the most powerful.

[slenderman379]

i see you have not included any cooler for the cpu, might wanna consider getting one, since any cooler is better than stock intel. They are just so damn loud.

This

 

- The xeon is a i7 without integrated graphics for a much lower price.

- No point in z87/z97 board if the CPU cant even overclock.

- GTX970: more powerrrrrrrr

- HX powersupply is not worth it (esp at this budget)

- 4GB RAM is way too low. 8GB is recommended for gaming and 16GB for video editing.

Why no to ASUS? i agree with the G1 gaming, but why EVGA over ASUS Strix on a 960 card

[HyperHertz]

Why ASUS Strix over EVGA on 960? Preference maybe?

[nikohd]

Well, ASUS is higher on the benchmarks than the EVGA Also, it has better heatpipes and better temps smaller too.

 I don't like the 960 in the first place lol.

This is a moot point.  Unless OP has a Shield, or need Cuda cores for 3d modeling, the 960 is always the wrong choice.  The 960 is the wrong choice here simply because his budget allows for a 970.
