I am looking to upgrade my PC but I don't know which combination would be the best:

I5 4670k processor + Gigabyte H87-HD3 Motherboard
Fx 4170 + Asus M5A97 LE R2.0

I will salvage the other parts from my current build, those parts are:
GT 630 2gb GPU
Corsair 8gb ddr3 ram
500w corsair PSU

I am also wondering how my GT 630 will perform combined with Intel HD 5000 graphics.

What will this PC be used for?
Gaming (on medium-low settings) and video editing in 720p.

4670K will win by a large margin. although GT 630 is a poor gfx to play game's with and it will not work with HD5000. HD 5000 will shut down after you insert the GPU. instead you should look for a FX 6300 with the same mobo and a HD 7750. you can play most games on high if below 1080p res.

Get Intel i5 4670k with MSI Z87-G43 Motherboard and HD 7750 and 600W PSU...

**Get MSI Z87-G43 Motherboard, Another motherboard with gaming suffix exist that is MSI Z87-G43 Gaming, MSI Z87-G43 is better**

if you really keep the gpu, they will perform on par since the gpu is extremely low end.
would be better to save a few bucks at the cpu/mobo combo and go for a fx6300 with the board you mentioned and get a new gpu (something like a hd7770 at least)
