How about operating system? Also do you have a preference to Intel or AMD?

This is kinda short and sweet. Can ya give us a few more details? I mean do you want AMD or Intel? Air cooled, water cooled? Full tower? Things like that.

is water cooled more expensive?

watercooling(custom loop) won't really be possible with your budget and an AIO cooler isn't worth it since you would have to lose performance to be able to afford it.

NVidia GeForce GTX 760 - $259.99

MSI Z87 ATX Motherboard - $80

Corsair H80i - $79.99

Windows 7 Home Premium - $80

G.Skill RipjawZ 8GB - $60

Corsair Carbide 200r - $49.99

WD Caviar Blue 1TB - $54.99

Cosair 600 Watt PSU CX600 - $49.99

Some cheap but okay monitor - $80

 

Total for these is around $1,180.

 

I made this in about 2 minutes but it is still a decent build. You can use the stock heatsink if you want to get a better monitor.

H80i is pointless, a decent tower cooler is just as good and less expensive, change it to a 212 evo and put the money towards a monitor. What is the point of getting a decent GPU if the monitor that you'll be staring at the whole time is garbage. You also don't need an i7 for gaming.

Not really. i7. 600w PSU (should proabably go 650w. There are other places you can cut back on.

that's stupid, an i7 just doesn't fit into that budget, drop the i7 for an i5 the h80i for a 212 evo and put the money into the GPU and monitor
