    Custom desktop, need some help

    So I'm helping a friend who lives in auckland build a custom desktop. I've recently built my own so I know the gist of things. I'm after nothing higher than a gtx 660, intel and 1T HD with a SSD. Running windows 7 too. Could anyone help me out with a build under $1300 nzd and from a site that delivers (and puts it together) to west auckland.
    If its possible to fit a better graphics card in with that price range then I wouldn't mind either.

    Cheers for the help guys

    I tried building something with an i5-4670k+Z87 but the total was ~$1340 and that was using a few different shops so I suspect the total would be higher from a single vendor + fee for building it. Secondly I have no idea if any of these will build it for you but at least you have something to go off of.

    So I ended up with something like the below. Wasn't sure if Windows 7 needed to be included in the budget or you already had a copy. Also add an optical drive if you need/want it:
