New PC Build 2014

Hello all, first post here and new member. My name is Brian and I'm currently
prepping for my third PC build.

Here's what I'm considering:

List of constants:

Keyboard/Mouse combo - Logitech MK120 $20 (F/S)

Power Supply - Rosewill Capstone 750W Haswell-Ready 80 PLUS GOLD $100 (F/S)
the two best brands are cosair and seasonic or a rebranded seasonic.

RAM - G.Skill Ripjaw 8GB (2x4) 240-pin DDR3 16""0 $75 (F/S)
g skill good brand of ram but use there newer aires ram. try getting the 1866 or 2100 speed ram. it be a few dollars more but it help with haswell cpu.

Hard Drive - Seagate 1TB 7200RPM 64MB Cache 6.0G/bs $65 (F/S)

Case - Rosewill Challenger ATX Mid-Tower $50 (F/S
spend a little more on new cosair r300/r400 cases. made for longer gpu and water cooling.


Total $310

Intel Option:

Intel i5 4670K Haswell 3.4Ghz LGA 1150 84W Quad Core $230 (F/S)

MOBO #1 ASUS z87 Pro $185 (F/S)
MOBO #2 ASUS z87 Plus $160 (F/S)
MOBO #3 Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H $130 (F/S)
MOBO #4 ASRock z87M Extreme4 $120 (F/S)

I have used ASUS MOBO's in both of my previous builds and was quite happy with them, but I don't mind a new brand. Is the ASRock a solid option? asrock was started by asus. then spun off. like most mb vendor if the mb is fine when you turn it on they mb not to bad. if you have a local micro center there cpu little cheaper. also soon haswell refresh and the newer x9x mb are dropping.

AMD Option:

AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5Ghz AM3+ 95W 6-Core $120 (F/S)

MOBO #1 Gigabyte GA-990 FX A-UD3 $125 (F/S)
MOBO #2 ASUS MSA97 R2.0 970 $95 (F/S)
MOBO #3 MSI 970A-G46 970 $70 (F/S)
and has killed off the fx line and gone to apu and the fm2 plus mb.

Video Card Options:

#1 EVGA GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit $360 (F/S)
#2 EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit $280 (F/S)
#3 EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB 128-Bit $160 (F/S)
with nvidia cards I would hold off as there going to drop there new 800 line when the foundry can work out yield issues.

I'm pretty sold on Nvidia video cards. My main question here is..I will be playing Battlefield 4, WildStar, and League of Legends primarily. My first build was Intel and the second was AMD - I am not set on either, but it is hard to not notice the price gap. I've read the i5 is significantly better at single core processing over AMD - what would be single core processes? In your opinion should I pony up the dough and get back into Intel? amd 8 core fx line is better in photo editing and cad. intel cpu are better gaming cpu for the extra money.

One last note - My last two PC's I used for 3 years each and was fortunate to sell both at a price that meant my PC's cost me $50-$75/year to use. That is my plan here as well with #3.

I appreciate those that provide feedback on this! I am looking to buy/build April 16th..I've done all pricing @ NEWEGG which has never disappointed me and has entirely free shipping. If there is a cheaper place to get anything please let me know. people here use parts picker.

if there a local micro center they have the best walk in prices on some of the cpu and mb combo.


Thanks!
