I am thinking of spending about $1500 on compartments for a new desktop (Graphics Card, Processor, Motherboard, etc.).
I have recently just bought an LG Monitor 27" Link is [URL="http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/lg-electronics-lg-electronics-27-led-widescreen-monitor-with-5ms-response-time-27ea73lm-p-black-27ea73lm-p/10251589.aspx?path=e8b1fd0fbb20819bdc185095b150088aen02&SearchPageIndex=1"]here[/URL] for the monitor.
If you guys can write down the components in order and the prices like how I wrote them that would be awesome!
I already bought my operating system so no need to put it on. (Windows 7 Home) [B]Please dont include that in the max budget![/B] :downs:
[B]1.[/B] Graphics Card ($)

[B]7.[/B] Optical Drive ($) [U](Make sure its less then $30 thanks!)[/U]
[B]8.[/B] Surge Protector ($)
[B]9.[/B] Network Interface Card ($) [U](I need a really good one, my internet is bad enough)[/U]
Thanks!
What is the purpose of this build? Gaming, rendering, etc? Also I don't think a NIC is going to help you; I could be wrong though.
Here's my recommendation assuming you will be mainly gaming: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1ozW3[/url]
I left case, surge protector, and NIC open to your choosing. If you need to downgrade something to free up some money, get this instead: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125463[/url]
Also newegg has a combo deal with the G45-gaming and the 4670k (as well as the 4770k) that isn't listed on pcpartpicker.
Thanks for the good build, I'll probably order some of the parts I changed the storage to 1.5TBytes to make it cheaper by a small bit, but thanks a lot.

You increased the storage to save money?

Oops nope my bad, I changed it back I thought the 2.5" meant the storage space, didn't even think that through.
Erase the 780, AMD is now selling Radeon HD 7990 for 699$, that is like 60-40$ higher than 780.

Guys, I changed the video card.
I am buying two GTX 760's.
I looked at benchmarks and its cheaper than 780 and has better performance than the 780.

That's not entirely true. A multi-GPU (SLI or CrossfireX) configuration will nearly double (or rather multiply by the number of cards you have) your framerate for games optimized for multiple GPUs. Games which are not optimized for multiple GPUs will see an improvement as little as two or three FPS. There are other factors to take in as well, like microstutter (a problem with SLI and CrossfireX where a frame will stay on screen much longer than it should) and upgradeability (if you only buy one card, you can SLI it later and have two fantastic cards, rather than always having two mediocre cards which you can only upgrade to quad-sli or triple-sli which your motherboard does not support). The same goes for dual GPU cards. Some games will see fantastic framerates but others will preform about the same as if only one GPU was present (a 7970 in the case of the 7990).
Why do you need a seperate NIC?
