Hello, I've been a long time lurker, and have build many systems before, but I've been out of the game for about 2 years, and just wanted someone to ask for second opinions on this build, along with price checking! I will be ordering this build in about 2-3 weeks so nothing is final at the moment, and If anything is coming out soon that I don't know about I could possibly wait on it. Anyways here's the build!

Solid build.
Just a suggestion on getting a different PSU. EVGA 600 B is not the best rated.

I like that build too, Realistically, how much performance increase would this be over my original build? Because I still need a monitor and that'd put me a bit over budget

Really pushing it with a 500w PSU, may be safer just to do a 780 non ti, so he can get a monitor also and more wattage lol. Just a thought ~
Yeah, I think I might have to do that, mainly because of the budget and I still need a monitor
Just a few things I'm not 100% on anymore since I haven't kept up with a lot of this for the past ~2 years:
-The comparison of the motherboards (the ASrock vs the Gigabyte posted above) and how much of a difference they actually make in performance in this build.
- The thing is, since the 780 is ~$200 more than the 770 is it worth it (I mean price per dollar wise) because I know I said $1,300 budget, but I really mainly play BF4, WoW, Crysis, LoL. I was just feeling a 780ti might be a bit overkill for a single (maybe dual, actually most likely dual) monitor setup. Please let me know, I'm not quite sure if it would be or not

I'd say yes, a 780 ti is overkill, but both the 770 and 780 can run ultra on bf4, you should get the 780 in a build this budget, it's probably going to have smoother fps on 1440p and and also dual monitors
