gaming no need i7, get the 4670k, if not overclocking go for 4570/4670
also don't need a z87 if you're not going to overclock

gtx 760 more than enough if playing on single monitor at 1920x1080

First thing first. You don't need an i7 to play games. Second thing no budget? Need monitor? Os? KB mouse? And lastly you need to over clocking?
