k as promised.
I don't think I need to post anything about cpus.
just check youtube and cpuboss. as mentioned i7 4770k is only meant for multi-threaded stuff (3d rendering, 4d sculpting, video editing, intensive and hard image editing.... and as a matter of fact I would still choose a fx 8350 or i7 4930k any day over the 4770k if mentioned actions are the main factor in the pc buy.)
i5 4670k can do video editing, rendering.... of course but a bit slower but it should be awarded intel gaming cpu.
mainboards - hmm we want to leave that aside until we get a few ones (names) to compare and make some study on them.
cooling.
I wouldn't bother with water cooling if you are not going to skyhigh overclock, cool the gpu as well or utilize an itx, smal matx case. How the radiator is placed and whether it takes fresh air to cool cpu well (sends heat on mainboard and gpu ... to make them cook chicken XD) or takes the heated air from inside and does banana cocojumboooo cooling worser than air cooler.... and water leaks and making the durability of other pieces drop as well as it's own oh duh NO TY WITH PLEASURE! lol skyhigh oc = nitro cooling for the way. just don't drink the nitro like the guys from gpu selling management did and priced the gtx 680 at 600$ wiii
for base and medium oc: cooler master hyper 212 evo does awesome.
high oc : thermalright hr-02 macho and noctua nh-dh14.
well you get prebuilt pc so hmm I would recommend changing the cooler (BUT ONLY IF IT DOES NOT VOID THE WARRANTY WHICH IS 100% A MUST FOR PREBUILT PCS!)
of course intel and amd crapoolers will do well at stock ghz but for me a crapooler is still a crapooler.
PSUS
as mentioned above.
never use something lower than tier 3 psus. you risk pricey pieces like cpu mainboard and gpu to be at the experimental pleasure of the psu.

he has humor as well ^^
for any gpu even with oced i7 4770k at 4.5ghz a quality tier 2 or higher psu of 550w is more than enough
works with (gtx 780, r9 290, r9 290x, gtx titan, gtx 780 ti too of course)
2x sli/crossfire any quality 750 - 800w pw is sufficient for above mentioned monsters as well.
dunno about titan black though.
disappointing that my i7 4930k on x79 extreme 6 with gtx 780 ti won't run on any 550w psu (600w minimum only). don't know why. pretentious dumbrig.
gpu hierarchy.
use those websites for gpu comparisons:

so amd goes like this:
r7 250 (19% weaker than) hd 7750 (10% weaker than) r7 250x (4% weaker than) hd 7770 (14% weaker than) r7 260 (10% weaker than) r7 260x (16% weaker than) hd 7850 (16% weaker than) r9 270 (1% weaker than) hd 7870 (7% weaker than) hd 7870 XT and r9 270x (5% weaker than) hd 7950 (17% weaker than) hd 7970 (5% weaker than) hd 7870 ghz (3% weaker than) r9 280x (18% weaker than) r9 290 (9% weaker than r9 290x) and I hate hd 7990 so no cookies for it!
duh borred of making theoretical differences as close as possible to real performance as well.
nvidia:
gt 640 < gtx 650 < gtx 650 ti < gtx 750 < gtx 750 ti < gtx 650 ti boost < gtx 660 < gtx 660 ti < gtx 760 < gtx 670 < gtx 680 < gtx 770 < gtx 780 < gtx titan < gtx 780 ti < gtx titan black
gt 630 and lower are not mentioned cause I don't find any meaning in them existing. I would prefer hd 4600 over them!
I love unique cases used in a few prebuilt pcs.
Hp phoenix case is yummy.
if case is not unique one then check all the reviews on it.
ram ham.
before buy. ask for the oem and selling company name.
ask for the ram's name. ask for the mhz. is the ram xmp safe and does mainboard support that?
check reviews on quality. always dual channel for the way.
errrm anything else or did I just mention the obvious >_>
