So I'm done w/ my old gateway gaming computer and looking forward to build a new one. Going for:
PSU: evga 1000w 80 p2
Casing: Corsair Air 540
Cpu Coolant: Corsair H100i
Gpu: gtx 780 ti asus/evga not sure yet
Ram: vegeance 8gb 1600
HD: 1tb seagate/ ssd samsung 120gb
Not sure about the MB and CPU. Definitely hasswell refresh!
i5-4690k + Asus VII Hero mobo ($199 + $189.99) or i7-4790k + ASUS Z97-AR mobo (279.99+109.99). Getting my cpu and motherboard in Microcenter, bundle deal $40 off on any mother board w/ a purchase of a cpu. And I like Asus mobo because of the auto oc.

The Asus high-end mobos definitely provides good tools for managing OC with OC panel that lets you adjust it on the fly. Definitely good. But not sure it's worth the premium unless you're looking for best performance. But if you're only using the auto-OC feature, then it doesn't sound like you will be tweaking OC yourself so it's less useful to you.Any suggestion if I do look into manual overclocking? I have till 1st week of August finalize everything

Yeah I'm only aware of the asus oc. Saw JJ from Asus demonstrating how easy and stable the auto oc that they have in z97 mobo. They have good review about it too

Here's a good 780 Ti from EVGA:

Great deal! This is the lowest price for this particular card right now.
