Agree with the 770. You might also want to consider a 2 x 8Gb set of memory instead of 4 x 4Gb for any future upgrades.

Okay, so I'm not sure why you picked the R9 270X as an alternate as it performs...well, terribly in comparison. We'd love to know what your budget is, then we can recommend what kind of GPU you'd be looking at. I would also pick the i5 over the i7 and put some extra cash towards the GPU.

 

If between the GTX 770 and the R9 270X. I'd definitely get the GTX 770, every time.

Agreed, you'll also get marginally better performance with a dual channel kit as the platform (1150) only officially supports dual channel.

an AMD card could be a viable choice.

I would suggest probably looking into getting the

MSI z87-GD45

instead of the MSI z87-GD65

 

I believe it gives a bit more bang for its buck +  its cheaper ;D

 

 

 

- Last time i looked there was like a $40 difference, thats $40 that you could be spending else where!
