[Beginner] First build help...
Hi there!

I want to buy some stuff and start my first mini-itx gaming build. I'm not hardcore gamer, I ususally play on PS3/4, but I want to go for PC...

Can you please help me on making a decent decision between these two options?

1st option:

-Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4Ghz
-Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI
-Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 OC 3GB GDDR5

2nd Option
-Intel Core i7-4790
-Asus Z97 I-PLUS
Asus GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II OC 2GB GDDR5

Thanks a lot, really need to read your thoughts as I don't want to make a bad choice nor waste money!
Cheers ;)

970, you should be fine with GTA 5 easily

Not sure about GTA, but i would have thought Watch Dogs would be fine

For the graphics card, it might be better to get the 770 though, how many monitors are you going to be running?

I think if i was you i'd go for the first option :)

And what about the graphics? Does the 780 worth the difference?...
