Hey Im a fellow gamer in a need of a upgrade. Within 6 days I will make the order.

I do not need a moniter or a keyboard+mice.
Moniters:1366*768 and Graphic Tablet 1280*800

Mostly play Lolz,WoWz and CSGO and looking into Watch Dogs. And normal daily uses like movies,radio,Facebook stalking also planning on streaming in the near future.

This is the cart I have my eye on so far. Any tips or comments on saves are appreciated .

Here's an AMD alternative in comparison to the i5 build above. Kept your case and motherboard.
Changed the PSU to a 750w thermaltake, it should be fine.
Put in a r9 290 which is a stronger gpu than the Gtx770
Changed RAM to cheaper ram cause its just ram, same speeds and everything anyways.

The reason why I put the 8320 instead of the 8350 is because the 8320 is just a lower clocked 8350 anyways. If you want an 8350, you can just overclock the 8320 to 4.0ghz to reach the 8350 stock clocks or you can go above that to 4.4 or 4.6. which is what an 8350 hit anyways.

The hyper 212 evo is good cheap cooler.

- Stronger CPU (less cores and less cycles per second, but much more instructions per cycle and lower wattage)
- Better CPU cooling (the 212 EVO with the noctua fans is better than the H55)
- Z87 instead of 990FX because of the CPU
- Cheaper RAM
- CHeaper HDD
- Stronger GPU
- Cheaper and smaller case because spending 110$ on a case for a 1000$ build is way too much, also, it's too big for ATX and now that I changed it to mATX there's obviously no reason to use it.
- No need for a 650W PSU for a 760 or a 770
- Added another fan for the case
