Hi guys! I'm building a new PC after quite sometime and am looking for all the help that I can get.
The maximum amount that i'm willing to spend is around 1300$. It will be used for gaming, mostly League of Legends, and a few games here and there (mostly Shooters) when i'm not playing LoL.
I have a few things in mind which I need help to choose from.

CPU: i5 4670k
Mobo: Asus z97-A or MSI z97 Gaming 7 or a Sabertooth z97 mark 2
GPU: Asus GTX 750ti or Asus GTX 660
RAM: G.Skill Trident or the G.Skill RipjawsX (2 x 4 GB)
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro Series 128 GB or Corsair Force Series GS 128 GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda SV-35 1 TB
PSU: Corsair RM750 or any other which suits the needs
I have a CM HAF 912 case in a good condition which I'm planning on keeping
and a Cooler Master V8 GTS which I bought for my amd fx 6300 a couple months back again which I'm planning on keeping
Also i'm keeping my mind open if you guys suggest something better for a good price.

Edit: I would also consider AMD gpu like the R9 270 or the 270x. Not sure about the latter though.

If I could I would. But sadly I'm moving to a new place where I might not get the best deals that I'm being offered now. And more so I will be away for sometime from home and will come back with loads of work related stuff. So i may not be able to build a pc for sometime, and also definitely not get the offers which are currently available. So i need to buy these components by this month and finish off with my build.
