Budget: preferably under $1500
More specific use (what games, what programs): media storage, metadata editors, some games (most likely COD, things of that nature)
Planned time until purchase: ASAP
Do you need an Operating System?: I think I can find one ;)
Do you have any specific preferred components?: in the research that I have done, Corsair seems to be among the best manufacturers, so I guess as much of their stuff (still within budget) as I can get. also a blu-ray drive (R/W) and CL liquid cooler. (H100i?)
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: Probably don't need a sound card, and I plan on having this computer wired, but just in case, a wireless card would be nice. 802.11AC
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: definitely o/c. I'm planning on going for 6.8ghz on an intel centrino (HAH jkjk ;0)
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: IF I could get 2 27inch monitors, I'd be really happy, but
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):32940

e/
LGA 1150, and in a corsair 750D
(only other suggestion)

meh, if you can increase budget to 1700 you'd get better monitors + diff mobo (extreme4) + better cpu cooler + the 760T case from corsair, which is what I would do ;)
ofc you can drop the SSD (for now!!!) and buy it later if you wanted.

Pretty much everything you want. It just doesn't have an SSD and its a bit over $1500.
If price is that important, you can drop the h100i and get a CM 212 Evo and drop to 24" Monitors as well as get a different motherboard + WiFi card (if really necessary).
