Should I go with build

 

A-  http://pcpartpicker.com/user/lcater95/saved/4MBi

-4770k

-R9280X

 

or

B- http://pcpartpicker.com/user/lcater95/saved/4MBr

-4670k

-R9290

 

This will be a purely gaming build. Normally I would choose option B but I keep hearing people say that games will soon start to utilize 8 cores because PS4 and Xbone do. I'm 1080p now but will crossfire and go 4k when it's ready. Will two 280Xs be able to accomplish this?

 

 

PS: If you can recommend a better Z97 mobo for the price or less that would be great.

Thanks guys. Looks like I'm going with B.

 

Will that power supply be able to handle 2 R9290s when I go to crossfire?

Build B gets my vote, and yes to the power supply, as long as it is of decent quality (it's a pretty decent one, I would still try to put in a Corsair or Seasonic if you could).

i5-4670k + R9 290, hands down.

Yep, but if you don't already have it, get an EVGA 750w.
