I need some advice on a PC build.

First of all I need to decide between these to CPU's:

Intel Core i5 4460 vs i5 4690K.

I also have to decide between the MSI or the Asus GTX 960.

The PC needs to be able to run games like League of Legends, World of Tanks, Minecraft and Battlefield. I would also like to record them at the same time. (Dosen't need to be at highest setting.) Last thing is that it's going to render video.

Thanks in advance! :)

The i5 4690K and the msi beacuse it looks beautiful and got pretty good cooling. And for the rendering 16gb of ram is a huge difference to 8gb. Goes alot quicker, atleast in AE.
