Okay so I will be building my rig in January or February if needed.
Rig 1: i7 4770 not the k version don't plan on over clocking mobo: msi z87 -g41 pc mate and a gtx 780 power supply is a corsair 750w and ram is 8gg corsair vengeance pro 2133. My second rig is basically the same except a fx 8350 and the 290x when it's releases I was gonna get the 9590 but have to get water cooling and that would cost more than the. 4770 and the 4770 will preform better from what I've heard also I've thought of the i7 4770 and the 290x but I know they are compatible i just don't like "mixing parts" so which would be better? Thanks in advance

You should go with Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3, I know it's z87 but z87 can have other features that you may want, it's a good idea to have a look around for maybe an ASUS motherboard, but the gigabyte is fine.
It is not mixing parts AMD GPU's work just as well with AMD and Intel CPU's. I would be speculating on the graphics until official benchmarks are out for the 290X so lets wait on the GPU decision.
The I7 is the better CPU but the FX8350 will let you overclock.

Hello, I think you should get a better motherboard. I recommend ASUS, Gigabyte, or Asrock. Also if you're not overclocking, you should probably not get a z87 motherboard since that's the motherboard that is used most for overclocking.
