thanks for looking into this and boosting my PC, just one question, if i get the OS will it be on the computer or will i need and optical drive to be able to install it? and you think games like Dayz and Rust will run on high or ultra settings? im really looking to use the PC for mmo and rts, still staying with shooters and sports on the xbox

why u get 4670k and z87 mobo. These things are for very high end systems, when ur budget is limited get a cheap h81/h87 mobo and i5 4430 and get the best possible graphics card and a reliable psu. Invest most on the gpu.

$900 is not very strict of a budget so no AMD would not be better for you. This is better than anything AMD can offer.
