Look at my signature for a base build and go from there. I alot better bang for buck. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

I just noticed - brings new meaning to the word "overkill"

The 750ti is pretty shit for gaming, bump it to a 380 at least and a i5 with the stock air cooler on a nice 50-70$ motherboard with a better PSU and no optical drive and a copy of windows for 20$ off G2A.
