Hello everyone, I would like to know what would be the best SSD (128gb or 250+ for gaming only) mobo, cpu (AMD or Intel for next gen games?) psu, gpu (not sure of SLI because i heard bad things about it and power usages) for single monitor 1920x1080 gaming at a $1300-1500 build budget? i know future proof does not exist but i would love to have a build that would be rock soild for years to come and only have to replace my gpu in the near future. I would also like to mention that the games i would be will be playing is WoW, FF14, BF4, TitanFall, Dark souls 2, Dragon age 3, etc next gen games. thanks!

oh and i may or may not stream so i prob would get a another monitor for that purpose in the future. However, if you would answer please consider that i will play on single monitor only and if you could tell me which gpu would be better for streaming my gameplay that would be great.

Here is my build let me know if its rock solid for my budget -

P.S I have seen the requirements of BF4 and really confuse about it like why recommend a 660 and 3gb?? but anyways if this is like a heads up that next gen games are going to require 3gb+ and maybe more ram would be best to do so?

About me in WoW for those who cares or know about this game - I am a high rated wow player btw just got rank one on like 2 bgs as the season ended today and now i think it would be best to get a new computer as mines right now is shit and because i want to become a full pc gamer.

That's a pretty good build there.

I'm personally not a fan of the Hero, but it's a decent board. I'd go for the Mpower + 770 Lightning for the same budget, and a Kraken X40 instead of the Noctua. More aesthetics I guess.

Total is $1,550. You can upgrade the 760 in a year or two and sell the 760. I don't believe buying high end GPUs are worth it. That Ivy Bridge-E will kick the crap out of that i-5 and is much more future proof. I got a single stick 8GB @ 1800, add more as you go. Still everything you had from pcpartpicker but much better.

Thanks for the input guys but still not sure about gpu, psu, mobo and cpu AMD or intel? now that xbone and ps4 are AMD. Also i do know my motherboard is a kinda overkill but is that a good thing like would that be best so that i do not have to worry about motherboards for years to come? same goes for my other parts that i have choose.

That Intel 6-core I posted is well over AMD. I wouldn't buy a high end gpu, that is just not where the best bang for the buck is. With that i7 I listed you can keep upgrading the gpu for years to come without the cpu being the bottle neck. That MOBO I listed is good for SLI or Crossfire too. I like ASUS mobo and Asrock mobo too, they are both great companies. Although ASUS customer support leaves something to be desired, (as in they suck, and I mean their ok I guess). But I have yet to have any issues with my ASUS products. EVGA, MSI, ASUS, are the best gpu manufacturers in my opinion, some people really like gigabyte.

Good Luck!
