Which one of these PC gaming builds are better

Overclocking is adjusting the settings of your pc or the gpu to run a bit faster for a small performance increase. It is optional.
The second build consist of the appropriate components to allow overclocking. For Intel, you need a k model cpu and a Z** motherboard with a compatible socket.

Should I get a slightly better CPU so I don't need to overclock like the Core i7-4770K 4-Core 3.5GHz

Are you saying that I could play Watch Dogs at high graphics setting with this build? I though I could only play medium graphics setting with this build but if it could play high then super!

How would I connect my Build to my TV? Would I use an HDMI cable? Does my build support HDMI cables?

This is what the back of the MSI R9 280X looks like.
It has a HDMI port.

Thankyou for all your help.
Just one last question. How long do you think it will be before I will have to upgrade my build.
 


At 1080p, probably 5 years perhaps if there is a stagnant improvements on cpu and gpu. You may have to tone down settings on future games. If games become more demanding then you may have to upgrade the gpu.
