If your making it for gaming , get i5 4690k( devil canyon chip ) and latest Z97 motherboard , upgrade the GPU to gtx 780 .
If you want to do heavy video editing and multitasking than your better off with i7 ,( though there are newer i7 versions too , devil canyon chips)

Its good, but why not upgrade to the Haswell Refresh? Also the Case has barely any ventilation. Heres what i've come up with for you.

You wont be needing a i7 4770K for a gaming pc, the difference between that and an i5 is hyperthreading which wont do much for gaming.
So you can save some money by getting an i5 4690k.
For that amount of money I would suggest a r9 290 , maybe the sapphire tri-x one, amazing graphics card

Since you decided to go with AMD's Build, I would like to just improve some minor bits like the PSU, and the case.
I put in a EVGA 80+ Gold Fully modular PSU so it help with cable management.
I also put in the Corsair 300r cuz it has good ventilation.

read this psu reference :) 
https://community.newegg.com/eggxpert/computer_hardware...


I read it, but im not sure what i'm suppose to get out of it, it just lists the tier for the PSUs

Edit: Wait nvm, the one i listed is in the Tier 3, which is still pretty good, I chose that one cuz its so much easier to work with Fully Modular PSUs
