I'm not that much into hardware, and these are the parts I've decided based on budget. Which is at about 2k$ ~

If there are better parts out there for the same price or a tad bit more expensive, or if you're hellbent on making me buy a replacement, that's more expensive than the ones listed above, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Manno

Making builds for a year+ later is a waste of time. The stuff you've put in the build are mostly outdated by then.

Well, either way. Help me pick a build? :)

haven't you only just brought a new laptop?

Yeah, and now I need a desktop.

EDIT: There was a typo with the MOBO. Meant to buy Z87 not Z77.

The 770 is a waste of money.

Also, get a 256gb ssd and use the saved money on a hdd for storage. Writing all your data to a ssd will make it have a short life.

What GPU should I get instead?

I wanted to have all my software on the SSD, while having files and documents on a separate drive. I guess It's sufficient with a 256GB SSD.

I have all my software + main games on a 128gb ssd with 30gb left.

Gaming on a single screen even at 1080p you're not going to see much difference between a 660ti, 670 and 770, especially with a core i7.
