I'd say get an ATX case and Mobo (preferably Z97 so you can add better CPUs later on) 1TB HDD an i3, SSD if you want <20 seconds boot time

Aftermarket 980Ti >= Fury X >= Reference 980Ti > Fury > 980 > 390X > 390 >= 970 380X > 380 >= 960 > 950 >= 370 > 750Ti = 360

but just to let u guys i m really concern about the performance

 

would a core i5 4XXX be worth the extra budget?

 

would the performance of the i5 be worth the extra 100 dollars?
