Good for games? Yes, monster PC? No, high end.

Don't know why to pair K series i5 with H MoBo, which can't OC. The SSD is not great too, no idea why a 770 when 970 has beenreleased and is much better.

Yes it'll work, are you getting a pre-built? I'd recommend custom building one as your budget sems pretty good. Will give you better performance for the same price, if not less.

Both are just as fine, I personally like 7's interface more, but 8 will not have issues with any game.

Right now i5 as there's no added advantage from i7, maybe a couple frames, but not worth the price premium.
