I have narrowed it down to these to systems, which one should I go for?
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/GhostPyro/saved/4hrJ or http://pcpartpicker.com/user/GhostPyro/saved/4hrj you also may show me a completely different build but with better components, I do not need a gtx 780 or an i7

here this is better.

its a slight change for the second build

It would be alright if Msi's components don't tend to run so hot, I see you tried to keep with the color scheme, you get an E for effort

, nah I'm just joking, you did pretty good but ill wait for more answers

I know you said you didn't need a 780 but after modifying babachicken's build I got you a 780 for $50 more.

I know I planned out a very similar to yours system on part picker, I don't really see a point in the 780, I'm not going to be playing metro last light or far cry on ultra, a 770 is good enough for me

GhostPyro :

That's cool, you can drop down to a 770 and take the savings home. The only advantage to a 780 is that it will last you longer. You're basically future proofing for newer games you may want to play. But you don't really need it.
