the 4670k beats the fx series in everything...i recommend getting the 4670k and an asus sabretooth z87 mobo....btw you have an overkill psu...you also dont need 16 gb ram if you are concentrating on gaming...games will use your gpu memory...8gb is sufficient...you can upgrade later...
 
Check this build with Intel. Will you overclock?
