You should try to get a 760/780 or their amd counterparts as a 750ti may not be able to handle games at high settings in the future, I hear corsair don't do very good psu's but that's just the cx series maybe

You went to far on the cpu compared to gpu, Th gpu is more important for gaming performance, I would get the Gtx 770, Cheapest model as long as its not reference cooler, And i5-4590 (Not overclockable, Then get the msi z87-g45 gaming, That Motherboard is kinda pointless. Also swap the WD Blue withe a WD Caviar Black.

My budget is around $1000. I want to have a reliable a gaming desktop. i want get evga gtx 770, but out of my budget, so i think I gonna get 750 for now, and I can replace it in the future. I think CPU Intel Core i5-4690k is newer version from i5-4670k ?
Which motherboard I have to get ? msi z87-g45 gaming or Asus Z97-PRO(Wi-Fi ac) ?

Get a i5 4690 and get a h97 board instead, with the money you saved get a 770 or a r9 280

The i5-4690k is Essentially a overclocked 4670k, Like a Gtx 750 to a 750ti.

The build you posting is amzing though other than the motherboard, You should get a ASrock Extreme4 Or Msi z87-G45 Gaming Depending on the cheaper one. Also dont get the WD Caviar blue, The black is much better, Or atleast the panda eco friendly green drive.

will you be overclocking?? Probably not.

I think I will get the MSI z87-G45 gaming, but is it good mother board compare to the asus z97 pro ?
Does 750 gtx fit MSI z87-g45 gaming ?
CPU Intel Core i5-4690k or i5 4670k ? about same price.

I don't know if I would go for the 750. Personally for a price to perfomance ratio and quality in mind I would tak the R9 270x but I don't know if that is compatible with your other parts.

The 9 290 is better than the 270x by a bit, the 290 is gtx 780 level, wheras the 270x is 760 level

I would suggest this, it has very good power supply and a gtx 770. The i5-4590 will be just as good for gaming. I added a hyper 212 evo but it is not needed.

Just a heads up, you're using a micro atx motherboard in your build.

guys, I want to get reliable motherboard (msi or asus) with wifi build in.
CPU (4670k or 4690k )
GPU ( Gtx 750ti or GTx 770) I might get 750ti, but in the future I can replaced it with 770 because 750ti can play most game in high setting ?

ya went for the micro to cut some off the budget, it fits into the case and gets the job done for none overclocking systems.

Your best bet is to put more money into your graphics then your cpu. I did the same mistake regret it.
