you should go with 8.1 non professional and use that to go with a r9 290 or a gtx 780

no need for the cooler, it's useless if you're going for a low end AIO cooler, get a i5 instead for gaming, the i5 4690k. Don't need 16gb of ram, get 8, and then use money to get a 780 or r9 290x as the i7 and more ram won't increase fps for you, but the cards will

I like the 4790k choice but, if budget is the reason for the 770, for the extra $100, I'd get a 780 ... and not EVGA which finishes last here:

+ $140 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

- $160 New CPU / MoBo Combo - MSI GD65 / 4690k - $370

- $30 Phanteks Enthoo Luxe - $150 Significant upgrade over the 650D

+ 0 PSU is one to stay away from - Seasonic M12 850 - $110 (EVGA G2 850 is $10 more) ... either one, check prices on buy day

+60 Swiftech 220-X

No single fan AIO can catch any of the better air coolers......this is an AIO and it's not.... you install it as one, but later on you can open the loop and add your GFX cards or anything else to the loop.

I spent an extra $18 but while ya did give up the 4790k for a 4690k, ya have better memory, huge boost in GFX, much better case, a cooler that crushes any AIO on the market and a more featured case w/ plenty of water cooling possibilities, built in LEDs and PWM based fan control for 11 fans.

You wouldn't need a Gold certificate as it only performs 5% more efficient than a Bronze. So you can reduce some mooney and spend it on a 290 or 780.

I never even look what metal color it is..... voltage stability, ripple and build quality is what makes the performance difference.
