1st one but with a 770 and a cheaper motherboard

[aricleather]

If you want more headroom for overclocking, choose the first one. The better cooling on the H100i will help you squeeze a little more out of your 4770k, which is important for workstation use. If you don't plan on overclocking and just gaming at stock speeds (who does that?) than the second one will offer better GPU performance, which is important in gaming.

Better: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3HJC5

[WyvernAbstracts]

if you're going to game only base the build around a 780/ti. 

[Phage]

The first one looks better w/770 and 2x8 memory

[ForsakenLive]

Get a cheaper motherboard (MSI G45 gaming or Gigabyte UDH3) Do you really need such an expensive board? You will be able to OC quite decently as well on these ones.

Air cooled (around 50$, much better than the 120V)

Get 2x8, don't go 4x4.

The PSU is fine, but seems to be a tad expensive.

Use the saved money on a beast GPU.

[KieranFretwell]

Would you be better off getting 2 8gb sticks of ram? so you can upgrade if needed in the future? I have been to Tunisia btw.. It's aight. 

[Thebman712]

this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3BiUB it was 1500 cad maybe add a i7 4770 and a h100

others in my sig

1st one but with a 770 and a cheaper motherboard

even if i get with a cheaper mobo (asus z87a) i'mnt close to GTX770 because it's very expensive here 795tnd( around 500$!!!!) so what do you think???

Mobo: choices reduced to asus and i dont really like the Z87A so what was left is the hero

CPU cooler: i want watercooling and some of air cooling are at the same price of the 120v if you have some idea u're welcome

RAM: 2x8 are unavailable now (1-2 months) so iwent with what i have

PSU: what do you suggest??

I noticed you weren't shopping in the US.

If that's the case, please link to where you're actually shopping and tell us how much you're actually spending.

I dont know how much more it cos in TND cause of tax and stuff so I keep it at aroun 1600$, if you still have more money left then maybe try the 780Ti?

it has reallllllllllllllllly got over my budget even if i go with gtx770, C70 case (750D is unavailable) and a 650w psu it's really tight thank you for your help

i think i'll go with Kingston SSD like Yours it's cheaper what do you think?

Q: i read that MSI Z87GD65 have many issues is that right?

Yeah, the Kingston SSD is good, at least in my experience. Same goes for the GD65, I havent encounter any problem. I've read that many issues existed in the past but with the new bios it should be fixed by now.

If 780 is really not possible  so try at least a 770. Good luck
