Build 1 for a gamer But the MOBO gonna probably need BIOS update for the 4690k. If you wanna plop the CPU in and go, switch for Z97 board of your choice.

Thanks So much Guys!!!!!

Why not just save money and get an i5+GTX 970? You'll still get more than 60FPS on Ultra on damn near any game.

I'd say save money and get the i5 + 970 and put a little more money in to a better PSU.  Could also swap out the SSD for another one, a little cheaper the MX100 by Crucial, it's equivalent performance, if not a little better and uses MLC nand, which some do enjoy over TLC.  All in all looks solid ^^  Eventual upgrades to it when you have money could be to a Zowie mouse, CM-storm TK keyboard(mechanical), and eventually some HyperX Cloud's for the headset, but overall solid beginning ^^

Why not leave the 980 for the possible 120-144hz or 1440p monitor ?

That is a true option as well.  If he is only going for 1080p, 970, but if he does decide to go to over 60hz on 1080 or to 1440p - 970 sli is good, or a single 980 is perfect as well.  It's all based on budget, I suppose.

Yeah, you did summ it pretty well

[Adreyu]

build 1 is better if you are just gaming, if you are doing any encoding or video editing work the second one

[bob345]

i like build one the most.

Or that.

[Sandvich]

get build # 1 and switch the gtx 980 in to a 970 or a r9 290, a 970 / r9 290 is plenty for today's games. Also you WILL have compatibility issue with the new intel refresh series and a z87 motherboard. Get a z97 board. Also the 290 is 2 times cheaper.

[Sandvich]

Also no cooler? 

[ThatPcNoob]

Im going to be using the one included with the cpu since i dont plan on overclocking

why get a K-series CPU in the first place if you are not overclocking? if u want to get a K, use a Hyper 212 Evo: its cooler, quieter, allows for decent overclocks and is pretty darn cheap.
