NCIX will pricematch while Newegg will not. Keep that in mind. If you find it for a lower price, get NCIX to match it.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/y8hTTWBtw you don't need 4gb of VRAM for GTA v, at 1080p yeah. 1440p 4gb is enough. 3 is probably the max you'd use since you don't need AA and all that to like x8 lol.

Here you go.

I'd seriously suggest an SSD over a hard drive.  It's worth the investment in the amount of time you'll save waiting on things to load.  Throw an HDD in when you have more money later.

This^

Plus, HDD can easily be added in the future for a small cost anyway.

If you got one later, then youd most likely want to reinstall OS onto it anyway and itd just be a pain in the shitter, SSD now and HDD later is much more efficient from my perspective.
