New PC Build Recommendations

Alright, I'm gonna be starting college soon and I was gonna build myself a new rig. My budget is gonna be $1300. I already have a few hard drives, a SSD, and a decent heatsink that I'm looting from my old rig. I was looking at getting an i5-3570k along with a GTX 780 (Too bad apparently the 800 series won't be out for another year?)

I read that apparently the i5-4670k performs 6% faster but is not good for OC.

Any suggestions?

Typically in that order too. That's how I built my pc :­3 $850 and I can play pretty much anything. Not everything on supermax but if that's what I was going for it wouldn't have cost me $850 lol.

Also, I'm typically an AMD guy, so I don't think you would care for my ideas anyways.

Try the Apollo. It's close yo your budget.

No prebuilds, with that money, you can get that 780 and the i5 and money left over(~$300) to get good peripherals(screen($100), decent keyboard($15-60), mouse($10)(don't buy gaming mice unless you want the extra keys))
Hope this helps!

what if he doesn't even have a Computer?
and what if he has an AMD Motherboard? with a shitty one core processor
and what if he has like 2 gigs of ram?
and what if his power supply can't handle the 780?
or the i5 processor?


it sure is easy and fun to build pc's rightttt!

@Rockmetal&time: it would cost about $1000-ish to build a pc with those specs FROM THE GROUND UP, just look at my other build on a different post(can`t link atm, phone), have a great day!

I remember that post. It's on page 2, 3 posts from the bottom.
