I like it, not too much different than my 2 1/2 year old build. i7 and a 680 w/SSD, w/16gb 1600 ram. I would recommend 1866 speed memory, it seems to be the sweet spot. I like that you got the 4gb version of the 770. Look at naughty dogs, 2gb is too little it seems. The new haswell i7 4790k can hit 4.4 turbo stock. I would get that and OC it to 5ghz +. Consoles are using more cores AND more importantly the same code as PCs more cores and hyperthreading is better for the long run IMHO.
Can you explain this all more in depth
Yeah, of course. The PS4 and XBOX one all run x86 code just like PC. I think because games will be optimized to run on all 8 of Jaguars cores, that an i7 with hyper-threading will run games better in the future. But the i5s do have 4 cores, and I'm certain the y will do well too. Some will say that the i7 is overkill for gaming, and right now that is true. But I am just speculating about the future. I would wait if I were you IF you can. The newest i7 is clocked high, releasing in September rumored.
Also check out this link, an i7 with 6 cores and unlocked for 300-350, DDR4, X99 chipset... hell yeah.

I would definitely get a 6 core for 300-350, Its rumored out in sept. If you wait you could save the extra money needed to build this system.
