Going to be building a gaming rig here soon, planning to buy my parts on cyber Monday (Nov. 30th) anyways I have a couple questions regarding parts I am having trouble deciding on. I'm on a budget but I want great parts that will last. For the GPU I know I want the GTX 970 but I don't know which model I want. If that even makes a difference, like Asus or the super saphire OC megamax edition (lol you get the drift) I need a little insight on that aspect, also for the processor Its either going to be the AMD FX 8350 or the 6300. Again I feel the 8350 would hold up high standards as I want but the 6300 is a much better fit for the budget. How significant will performance be when gaming between the two of these? Let's say very high settings on crysis 3 or Arma 3 or GTAV would it be 8350 (70fps) 6300 (40fps)? Or would the 6300 only drop it a couple frames but staying above 60? If it's still up there I'm happy. Also!! Lol PSU.. The last PSU I had (600 watts) kept shutting the pc down while gaming.. With a GTX 760 and an FX4300 lol... So do I need an 850 gold plus for half my wallet or would a 750 gold plus keep it actually on and running and not blow up.. ALSO lastly for the processor is a liquid cooling system for about 60-70$ really necessarily worth it? Or would the stock fan keep it performing nicley? Please be descriptive if possible!

If you go with an Intel cpu, you can save money on a less wattage PSU, not needing an aftermarket cpu cooler because the intel stock cooler is good enough (AMD's isnt) and also a cheaper motherboard. AMD requires expensive motherboards and cpu coolers because they run so much hotter.
This system only "needs" 330 watts, and 550 is a good safe zone, and this is a good quality PSU.
Cybermonday doesn't make everything is necessarily cheaper, so the brands you'll have to pick from are gonna be whatever is available then.
