This is my first build. I want to play all games with full settings at 1080p. Is the msi mpower sp mobo good? should I buy corsair air 540? I plan to sli in the future. I will build it in September 2014 and I can only buy international shipped amazon products coz I live in India.

R9 280X is almost as fast as GTX-770 but it comes with 3GB VRAM and 3 free games at only 300$ which is 50$ more than GTX-760 :)

But you have to add about 40$ to get nVidia card while AMD card comes with 3 free games.
GTX-770 and R9 280X have almost same performance but GTX-770 slightly faster than R9 280X.

But I can only buy international shipped amazon products coz I live in India.And I guess this makes the gtx 770 and r9 280x out of budget.

It's good but it's way more expensive than HAF-912.

But if 860 costs same as a 760, i could save enough for the air 540

the air 540 is desinged with monster cooling in mind. if your never going to run 240 and 360 thick rads, i dont think that case is worth it.

Should I buy the unlocked pentium releasing mid 2014 instead? It would be much cheaper.

It's not good (not so smart) getting "Pentium" CPU with such great motherbord for OC. Get at least i5-4670k or i7-4770k, or wait until 4590k or 4790k CPU come. http://wccftech.com/intel-haswell-refresh-processors-co...

Is AMD FX8350 a good alternative?

AMD's FX-8320-8350 are pretty old CPU's so they aren't good compared to Intel "Core" CPU's.
AMD CPU's have lower performance per core and per clock than Intel CPU's.

On 800$ you can get only AMD build, for Intel save up till 1000$ and get good PC.
