I planned my computer building at http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/iGlowers/saved/zDPYcf and I wanted help to see if I need any help, missing or anything. I already have Windows 7 and a wired network adapter.
Budget: $2000
OP, what you should get really just depends on how much you are willing to spend. A bit over a thousand would already get you a rig that simply crushes anything out there at 1080p if it's even possible, further than that is only really of any use if you are going for higher resolutions. For gaming going much past that usually makes little sense, and it would simply be more useful to spend the rest of the money later down the road or invest it in something.
Very true. To be honest, going past 1.1-2k bucks is just a waste. Unless you're SLI'ing, which normally can be very unstable, the only thing you're paying extra for is a motherboard or something along the lines of that. For right now, this is all you really need. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/xQdVHx I didn't include an optical drive, and I'm assuming you're not OC'ing?
(I have never tested any of the parts, and I can therefore never guarantee no faults.)

I have chosen theseout of all posts.
Now I am trying to figure out which one to use.
BTW Yes i want to overclock.
I have to say I'd go with Miiralion's second build except, it doesn't have an HDD?
Weird. I just edited the original link for that one, but apparently it had no hard drive either? I thought I included one.

That's better.
Honestly I couldn't think of a better build for the budget...

You can rather easily cut the price down even further without really losing anything, and actually making the system quieter: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/tzxB99
Does your system perform slightly better? Yes, but I would argue that it isn't worth the additional noise nor the cost. I'm not really sure whether the 970 is of any use at all for 1080p, either, if you have a 60Hz monitor.

Didn't add an unlocked processor/motherboard because you didn't specify if you wanted to overclock.

Nice CPU cooler, z97 from Asus, and a cheaper 970 that I saw on Jppk's build. Not to mention the unlocked i5.

I left out parts that were going to be OC. And plz don't make a new build. Instead just suggest the part to me, thx
I can't actually OC anymore due to permissions, So planned this so far:

Retired StaffStick with Miiralions first build.
Wayy overpriced GPU. Get a 970. It'll have more performance and it's cheaper. 9590 is, as stated by Akame, horrible.
