Hi, can someone recommend a $1700 desktop with speakers (no need keyboard and mouse though). Not planning to overclock. Going to use this pc mainly for playing games like fifa, doing school work (incl. graphing programs), and maybe some light video and photo editing.

Thanks alot!

Now is not a time to buy nvidia cards as it is expensive. Nevertheless the current r9 280x is on par with the gtx770 and the price of r9 280x $449. The price of gtx770 $650++.

But any way if you want the same performance then gtx770 is the only one that can be matched. But be ready to pay almost $650+.

First thing first. Your GPU is nothing compared to r9 280x.
Secondly that rig I have added a good speakers with a soundcard.
Lastly the ram differences.

Take that 3 away is still lesser than yours.
