I'll make this as simple as possible, I have a budget for computer parts and want the best performance boost. Im all about the games being smooth and stable. These two builds are a combo of new parts and parts I have, so not looking for recommended parts, just simply which will offer the smoothest, most stable gaming experience on my Asus 144hz monitor for BF4

Option A:

Intel 4670k
Asus Maximus Hero
Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz RAM
Crossfire 270x's
240gb Samsung Evo 840 SSD
Corsair AX760 PSU
Corsair Air 540 Case

Option B:

AMD FX 8320 4.2ghz
MSI 990FXA-GD80V2
Asus Nvidea GTX 780 3gb
8GB Corsair XMS3 1333mhz RAM
240gb Samsung 840 Evo SSD
750w Thermaltake Smart Series PSU
Corsair Air 540 Case
 
Solution
You're better off combining the two. Grab the i5-4670k with a cheaper board like the Asus Z87-A, ASRock Z87 Extreme4, or Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H with a GTX 780 and a 120gb (or 250gb) SSD.

Definitely, I already own the 2 270x's and they can run flawlessly one second, then really bumpy the next. And having to run games in full screen mode can suck
