Looks great. you did a good job of keeping cost down and spending where it matters. I would change nothing.

If money isn't an issue would u go for the gtx 780ti which is more future proof

This late in the game I wouldn't. Not with Haswell dropping in the NTDF. I'd go with the second build but get a z97 mobo maybe even a cheaper GPU and save the 600 for a new 880 when it comes out in the next few months. That's just me though

Wel0 it's all speculation as of now but yes it will be better. The 700 was a revamp of the 600 so the 800s will be all new. price is generally consistent. and its not hard. it only goes together 1 way and its only like 6 pieces. watch this 3 part series by new egg. it will walk you through it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPIXAtNGGCw
