ok here
if you want to overclock then just add a cpu cooler, the unlocked and locked version of this cpu are the same price so just get the unlocked anyways
750w in case you decide to SLI later on
didn't bother adding an operating system
should play pretty much all modern games maxed out (besides crysis 3, but im sure they made it run slow on purpose lol)
rate 10/10
Pretty good build, I think the motherboard is overkill. Cut some of the money from that and spend it on a better case. I know it seems sort of dumb to want your system to look better, but trust me once you own a $1300 computer you'll wish you spent more than $40 on a case. I would also consider adding an SSD, even if it's just a small one for caching. For a high-end build like that in which you have a little extra cheese to blow, you might as well spring for one considering that it makes a big impact on booting and loading times.
Of course, if you plan on buying windows and/or more periphirals, an SSD might not be the best option. If you need more wiggle room in your budget, you could save a bit of money by switching to 4x4 ram instead of 2x8. There's barely any need for 16gb right now, so there won't be any need for 32gb in the future. You could go down to a higher speed 2x4 ram kit and spend less still, and your performance would improve as well
My brother wants a PC for a grand so this is what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2dKbS
Does it come with a sound card? And is there anything I could cut back on? Is the AMD RX series better then the 760? Are the brands good? Is the case good?
How many times have you posted this? I thought I had seen it before...
Anyway, that SSD is a little ambitious for your price range. Drop the SSD, and get a faster hard drive, you'll still save enough money to upgrade to an R9 290X (which is significantly faster than a 760)
