so for my build upgrade this is what im thinking:

 

GTX 760 (will change it 960 if it comes out and its a good price):http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn760wf2oc2gd

intel i5 4460: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54460

Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gab85md3h

 

the whole thing draws 350ish watts. I know my psu is crap, imma get a corsair 600M or somthing later on down the road.

 

what do you guys think?

[Clyne]

any reason for that fast ram? or do you already have that?

You can get the R9 280 instead.

it runs hot, and doesent have the outputs i need. i need DVI-D, DVI-I, and HDMI all at once. to the 3 mini display ports wont work for me.

it seems okay, but are you sure that you don't need a unlocked cpu? You may regret having not having a unlocked cpu in the future.

Ah too bad, NCIX has extremely good open box deals and you could likely have saved enough to buy the 4690k and a Z board for the same price as your listed set up.

I picked up a 7870, Prodigy case, and Gigabyte Z87 Wifi board for $150.

As you need, only CPU, MB and CPU.. with what you listen you're around $510 so these may be better i'd say, and keeping the cheap gtx760 for replaicement later on. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/creativethc/saved/b94Zxr
