If only for gaming, drop to 670k

Get earplugs or a quieter cooler ...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTf0Vq1j4Ec

Coolemaster PSU and Asrock MoBo are not things m personally comfortable with when spending over $1000 on a PC

Your case / PSU combo is $190 for a low end PSU, this combo is $210 and its a 10.0 jonnyguru performance rated PSU

I only use sBlue HDs in < $1000 buils

Id drop to the 2GB unless ya res > 1920 x 1080

I've done my research on asrock. I'm concerned that you may be biased and tend not to experiment. I've been long time ASUS freak and I've come to see there defects. Is it a personal preference or a fact that ASrock is shaky?

I have a corsair on tap - TX850

Alternate Case - 600T - White

I choose the 4770k and the 4gb VRAM to provide me with ZERO bottle-necking issues.

How likely is this HDD likely to die? What is the true benefit to the black?? I'm never going to move the thing or kick it.. ;)

I have a family member working for Kingston and believe I am able to get a discount so I'm trying to stick with them.

At Microcenter for $60 more I could have a stronger processor

What is the benefit or compromise for taking on the i5-4670k over the i7-4770k

for $50 I could get 2 extra gb.

I understand your getting double the memory and core speeds per card but what if i invested in another 4gb card in 2 months ??

This would be my choice. Your build is good if you want to do a bit of rendering/video editing as well.

If you're using only one monitor, 4gb is totally unnecessary. In regards to gaming, there's little to no fps increase when going from a 4670k to a 4770k. but if you have the extra money on you, go right ahead. SLI gtx 770's is the best gaming solution at your budget right now. get a 780 like what mastrom suggested if you're planning to upgrade in the future. 3gb on the 384-bit mem interface on the 780 would do you a lot more than 4gb on the 256-bit on the 770 in the long run. already with a 4670k, in a gaming build, any extra money should go towards the gpus.
