Hey guys I'm planning to build my first gaming PC, I do have one right now but I didn't build it, I bought it from a friend, so I do have a decent knowledge of the basic components of a PC. I have a budget of $1300 and I believe that's enough for what I looking for.

Anyway since I'm still a noob in the subject I prefer to have the motherboard and all that kind of stuff already build in, that's why I'm going with a shuttle barebones system:

As for the GPU I'm planning to buy a Radeon HD 7970 with 3GB, it may be hard to get that GPU inside the shuttle PC but I already saw a video of someone who manage to do it

As for the processor I'm planning on a normal core i7 with 3.4 GHz and 4 cores, and 8GB of RAM with 1 TB of HDD 

Those are the main things I'm looking for but if there're better components that I can get a better price make sure to let me know. 

If it's possible please put all the things for U.S sites, since I don't live in the U.S I'm having someone who can do me the favor of bringing me all the parts that I need. Thanks.
