I'm new to building, and I think $700 is a fairly reasonable estimate for what I'd like to do. Games I'd like to be able to run fairly easily are TitanFall, BF4, Blacklist, Saints Row 4.
I've found many builds with AMD and other with Intel, and I just don't know which to go with!
Any build suggestions?

do you need stuff like monitor, operating sys, keyboard etc or just the computer components with a caseYep, need all that. I don't think I'll be able to get the performance I'm looking for as well as all these secondary items for under $700 so I'm willing to spend some more on those items. Good question!

Personally I prefer stronger core performance over more cores (i5=more powerful cores, fx-8320=more cores) mostly because I play some older games too.

Intel offers a better upgrade path. The z97 and h97 will support the next gen Broadwell cpu's.

I don't think the ran will work with the motherboard. The ram is too fast

Awesome! I had a question about power supplies. Is there a certain range above the projected watt usage a PSU should achieve? The one you recommend is 550W where as the projected watt usage is around 350W.
