Here is the list I am currently interested in. Do you believe it offers the best bang-for-your-buck for a $700 budget build?

Thank you.

(I plan on buying this build towards the July, so if you know of any new components coming out before then, feel free to suggest them.)

Try this, it think it will be better than the other build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Rnx3XL
The main upgrades are the CPU and GPU
As you can see here the i5 CPU is better than the AMD FX: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-vs-AMD-FX-8320
And here you can see the 960 beats the R9 285: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-285-vs-GeForce-GTX-960
I also spent less on the PSU becuase the Intel and Nvidia together draw less power so you dont need a PSU as big, either way you probably spent more than needed on the PSU in the AMD build.
