PC Build

[yack346]

Hey, My friend has been wanting to build a pc for many months now but he cant seem to find the right parts for the price. His budget is about 1000 dollars. He need to have good parts that could be used to go on ultra settings . Me and him are going to be playing the following games, Diablo 3, bf4, crysis, Far cry , Starcraft 2, etc. Please help me and him to find the right parts.

Thank you!

If you're close to a Microcenter, I'd recommend their 4670k+Z87-A motherboard bundle, as it comes to around $310 on pick-up only.

I don't believe there are any 280X in stock anywhere. Alternatively:

MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB
Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB

It's also because of BF/CM and the bitcoin mining hype.
