System 1: Asus M5A97, Sapphire R9 290, Kingston 120 GB SSD, Corsair CS750M Modular PSU, X-6300, Corsair H80i

System 2: Intel 4670k, Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 4gb, Kingston 120gb SSD, Possibly the same mboard and the rest the same parts.

So which system is better for gamin. i mostly play games like BF3, BF4 and i really want these to be a ultra settings at 60+ fps if possible. Thanks

I think it really depends on what you are doing. Personally I would go with the second option, drop to a cheap air cooler, and try to trim a few bucks (like a 550-600watt supply or something) elsewhere to still get the 290 in it. I'd also even consider dropping teh SSD down to a 60GB SSD and just using SRT to make your spinning disk seem fast for your most used applciations/games. It works surprisingly well.

If you want to stream videos of your games though, Shadowplay makes it not bother your machine performance anywhere near as much, so the 770 might work out better in that regard. If you could trim enough to get a 780 instead you'd have one beast of a gaming machine.
