Hello , my pc after 5 years starts failing.

Im a firm believer of getting a new one than trying to fix the old ones let alone that i cant play in high settings most of the games.

So in search of a new pc ive made 3 builds. One to last for a around a year or 2 then get a new one , second to last around 3 years and a final build to last 5+ with some upgrades in ram or adding a new gpu in the future.

1)
FX 8350(AM3+,4,0 GHz,16 Mb)

970 Gaming (AM3/970/DDR3)

RAM DDR3 8GB Dimm 1333MHz VALUE

VGA PCI X R9 285 2GD5 OC Dual-X

Caviar Blue WD10EZEX 1ΤB HDD 3.5"

This with my old case will cost around 730 euros

2)
Graphite 230T Black Midi Case

Builder Series CX600 600W PSU 80+ Bronze (CP-9020048-EU)

CPU Core i5 4690K (1150/3.5GHz/6MB)

Z97MX-Gaming 5 (1150/Z97X/DDR3)

RAM DDR3 8GB Dimm 1333MHz VALUE

VGA PCI X GTX 970 Gaming 4GB

This will cost around 1150 euros although i do believe that the gtx970 will bottlenexk the i5 but i might be wrong

3)
1 x Corsair Graphite 730T Full Case

1 x 735W Power Series Modular 80+ Bronze

1 x CPU Core i7-5820K (2011-3,3.30GHz/15Mb)

1 x X99-UD4 (s2011-3,X99,DDR4)

1 x RAM DDR4 8GB Dimm 2400MHz Ballistix Sport

1 x VGA PCI X GTX 970 Gaming 4GB

1 x Caviar Black 500GB HDD WD5003AZEX 3.5"

and this will cost around 1550 euros but with option os sli plus another 8gb of ram in the future i can se it lasting for 5years + in 1080p gaming

Any ideas which should i go with ?

couple of friends told me the second one too although im more towards the third option .
Can you elaborate as to why?
i was told told me that the new haswell 5820 not worth for gaming it plus the ddr4 are too expensive for the smaller increase in speed and they come with limited motherboards as well

It is too soon to build a ddr4 rig in my opinion way too expensive for what you get.

That looks good but why the 750watt power supply 600 watts would be enough for that build with an overclock.

A 5820k is not a horrible idea, if the intention is to keep the CPU for 5+yrs.

Thanks for the replys , prices in Greece are way fkced up like 20% more than uk plus morel imited options , so the third pc ive made is the cheapest i can get for ddr4 . Maybe i get the parts form the uk if they ship to my country , i know for sure that u.s sites like amazon and newegg dont

Ill have to check the amazon u.k if ships in Greece.
Also pound to euro is 1.27 and since i bought a new house and new car more than 1400ish pounds for pc is out of the question
