Hi, Im planning to build my new PC:

Approximate Purchase Date: Next month
Location: UK
Budget Range: I will be buying parts in Pounds. Im not going to put any number so i can see where im at.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, mostly online(Dayz, new games which are due to come out in 2014-15)>Music>Video and music editing>Browsing>Watching movies
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any
Parts Preferences: Intel and Nvidia
Overclocking: Yes, but not a heavy one
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, but i will be getting a new one
Additional Comments: I need a PC which will run Dayz and new games at 1080p and more, because as I said I will get a new monitor. I need Wi-Fi, the best audio quality possible. 8GB of RAM. Air cooling.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I gave my older PC to my brother and I use laptop which is rubbish for gaming, and all the task I want to do. Im expecting to get a top spec rig which will run any game at max settings. Im not a pro video and music editor yet but Im planning to learn a bit more, so who knows.

Thanks in advance.

people have been saying the asus is quieter and cooler but its not, its actually one of the worst. not really sure why because according to many benchmarks the evga comes out on top all the way around while even being clocked higher than all four popular models.

I wasnt expecting such good builds after looking in PC stores and pre-build systems on ebay etc. Both of them look great. 4670k and 4770k are both great, but the GPU, i have to say its the best one on the market, isnt it? Is there a difference in performance between gigabyte, asus and all other non-reference ones? If yes, which ones are the best ?

there is virtually no difference between the gigabye or asus, or evga or msi when it comes to the 780ti, it all depends on what core clock frequency they are at, and they can all be overclocked anyways so whatever differences there are is negligible. and yes the 780ti is the fastest gaming gpu on the market. the 4770k is a bit better and up to 20% faster than the 4670k in highly threaded applications, but gaming wouldn't be one of them where you would notice the difference.

Thanks. 4770k and 780ti it is then. About ssd, i want to use it for windows and dayz so i think 120gb would be enough for my needs. Hdd im after 1tb, because i have got an older one at home and im planning to use it in my new build. What wi-fi would you recommend?
