Hey guys! I am currently deciding between two different gaming builds and want to know which one is better! I personally like the first build better then the other one but please let me know! I am planning on playing assassins creed's, watchdogs, battlefield 4 and hardline, Gta 4 and 5 modded, police 10-13, minecraft, sim city 5, call of duty, and many more games. I am planning on them on high-ultra settings at good fps! (Over 60) I also want it to last me several years (5 or more). I do NOT want to go over 1700. So which one is better? Also if you can make changes to them it would really help me out! Thanks!

Second build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DGhLpg

What do you mean? The 4790k has had pretty good reviews so far? Is it bad? and what is the haswel E?

Hawel E The new intel i7 - 6 cores price: $380 You can't use ddr3 you have to use ddr4 and you can upgrade in the future when the newer Haswel E CPU Comes. or else you have to buy a new motherboard if you want to go from intel i7 4XXXX to haswel E

I can't speak out of experience, since I have't owned Msi/Evga cards yet, but I'd go with the Evga card. They seem more reliable and I heard their graphic cards are nice. So, the first one.

If you can, you can change the MOBO to an Asus Z97-A and get some cheaper ram, and then put it to a better quality psu.
