Hello

I am planning to buy a new Gaming PC for MMOs, Crysis, (Basically any game to-date on Ultra High). My budget is around 950 Euros. I didn't build a PC in quite a while so please inform me if there are incompatible parts. And I would like to here you opinion about the setup (if there is anything I should improve :) )

I also got few questions:

1) Regarding the Graphics Card, I read that the GTX 770 has better performance per dollar over the GTX 780. I know the GTX 780 is better, but do you think is it worth to squeeze myself and spend extra money on it ? (Playing on 1920x1080 resolution)

2) Also, regarding the graphics card, which brand should I consider to get and which ones should I avoid (Zotac, MSI, EVGA, ASUS, Gigabyte, Inno3D) ? I was considering buying Zotac, anyone had any experience with it ?

3) Regarding the Motherboard, Asus or Gigabyte :??: ? Gigabyte H87-HD3 Mainboard Sockel LGA 1150 or ASUS B85-Pro Gamer ?
And if gigabyte is better, is Gigabyte GA-Z87M-D3H, Z87 or Gigabyte H87-HD3 Mainboard Sockel LGA 1150 better for my specs ?

Below are my PC specs. I would like to hear you opinion please :). Any Help would be appreciated.

You should try building a PC at 900 Euro without a GPU and buying a GPU when you make more money! I performed that and I survived perfectly with Intel's Integrated Graphics 4600. It's perfect for games at low settings. Anyways for a CPU I'd go with i5-4670k as it's optimal for gaming and as motherboard is concerned I'd get an Asus Maximus VI Hero (It's the most exciting component - no joke). I'd suggest you go with a Gold power supply just because it provides more amps. For example you can get Corsair HX650. You'll definitely not need more than 650W unless you want Crossfire/SLI and overclocking. For a GPU (as I said it's better to buy that later) you should try Gigabyte's GTX 770...

You can keep your Case/Cabinet and Wireless card, but I would prefer a Cooler Master HAF 932 or HAF X for case.

What ever you do, do not go with Corsair's RM series of PSU , currently they have thermal issues.
