I was thinking of having another option other than the intel based build I posted a couple days ago and came up with an AMD based build. Again I'm still new to this components stuff so I have no idea what I'm doing. Feel free to give comments about the build, suggest efficient ways to improve it or if I need to change a part or something. Goal is to at least play the new games at high settings at least 60fps. As for the video card I'm not sure which one to buy. There's also the 970 and 980 coming out this month but I don't know if the 6300 will be good enough. Thanks

I updated your build and gave you better parts while trying to keep the price almost the same.

Will the 750 ti hold out for the new games out there eg Wolfenstein, Watch Dogs, Far Cry 4 etc in High and 60 fps? at least? my monitor is 1080p btw so I was wondering if it will? or should I just wait for the 970 or 980 to come out and buy that instead and will it work with 8320?

most definitely since the 8320 and so forth are rather recent processors.

this is in regards to a 4670k I5, but the 8320 is somewhat if not to much behind that I5. At high max is 59 fps, but is still smooth. Anything about 30 will be smooth performance.

Gotcha thanks. I will actually try this build maybe if I do get some extra cash I'll probably go with the 970 or 980 and maybe use AMD or Intel depending on my excess.
