Hey guys.

I'm shopping my new Gaming Rig to run next-gen games, and I've come to some builds within the same price range (here in my country, Brazil, the prices aren't the same as the US, not even the proportions).

Take a look at them and, please, give a review. What should I take? The game will be running only games.

I5-4670k + GA-Z87X-D3H + 2x4GB RAM 1600MHz + SLI GeForce GTX 760 + Corsair 750W

OR

I7-3770 + B75M-D3H + 4x4Gb RAM 1600MHz + GeForce GTX 770 + Corsair 600W

OR

I5-4670 + H87M-D3H + 2x4GB RAM 1600MHz + GeForce GTX 770 Lightning + Corsair 650W


Have in mind that the first one is a bit more expensive than the other two, something near a 120GB Kingston SSD more expensive. So feel free to suggest upgrades to the last two options to improve them a bit.


THanks!

I would go with the 3770 build. Better GPU than the first one and better multithreaded support for future games than either. If you can get one for a cheaper price than a 3770, the Xeon 1230v2 or 1240v2 are even better options for the money over a 3770. Here in the US, they tend to be a fair amount cheaper than a comparable locked i7.

Didn't notice the SLI for the 760. That would be the fastest gaming option overall for games that have good multi GPU support. I would swap the 760's for a single 780 or wait and see what the R9 290's offer for performance. I think the NDA on those gets lifted tomorrow.

use the 4670k or the locked 4750 cpu to save money. any high end i5 are not going to be bottle necked by any gpu. use the 770 or the new amd r line of gpu if there as cheap as nvidia there. use the 2x4 1600 ram dimms for now if you need more ram you can add it latter or another gpu for sli.
also look at asus -a z87 mb if you thinking of sli/crosfire. using a ssd as boot drive will speed up your pc. also if your going to game use a evo 212 or other after market cpu cooler. the intel stock cooler wont cut it.
