Ok so i Posted this before, and after much research, I have settled down on the below choices to build my first Gaming RIg:

Processor:
AMD 4.4 GHz AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) /
AMD 3.5 AM3+ FX 6-Core Edition FX-6300 (FD6300WMHKBOX) Processor


MoBo:
ASUS M5A97 LE / ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 / Asus M5A78L-M LX V2

RAM:
Gskill 8Gb X 1 Ddr3 1600Mhz Cl10 Ripjaws X RAM (F3-12800CL10S-8GBXL) /
Gskill 8Gb X 1 Ddr3 1333Mhz Cl9 Ripjaws X RAM (F3-10666CL9S-8GBXL)

Graphics Card:
MSI NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750Ti 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card /
Zotac Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB DDR5 /
Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon R9 270X /
Sapphire Toxic R9 270X /
Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2Gb Ddr5 Oc Graphic Card With Boost

PSU:
Corsair VS550 550 Watt SMPS

HDD:
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST1000DM003)

Cabinet:
Antec V1 Cabinet /
Antec X1 CPU Cabinet

Now heres the part, even after doing a lot of research, I cant zero in on one choice for every part.
e.g. whats the difference between Sapphire R9 270X and Sapphire Toxic R9 270X? Which one is Better? Is Nvidia GTX 750 Ti better? How will the performance be if i play Watch Dogs or The Division?

So can anyone please help me out? With the performance differences or what issues i may face?

Kindly suggest if i may require additional parts like Coolers or More RAM or a different option in Graphic card.

I will be following this throughout the day, and then place my order based on the info I receive here.

Thanks a lot. (Sorry I posted it here by mistake :( )

The difference between the 270X's is the cooler used and the Factory Warranty covered OverClock applied to the card. I believe the Toxic is their High End for a given card.

The 750Ti is a low powered GPU but compared to the 270X is not very good for gaming. For the FX CPU's I would suggest the DDR1600 over the DDR 1333 chips.

For the Motherboards listed the ASUS M5A97 LE is the most up to date of the ones listed it doesn't have a built in GPU like the other two (HD 3000), but you are getting one so that isn't an issue.

The CPU's you list are the same chip not sure why 4.4Ghz is on the first one as the chip is 3.5ghz with turbo speeds of 3.8 and 4.1ghz.
