Unfortunately I still haven't been able to build my pc because I'm still confused, and friends are telling me to wait for the 380x because the 970 will get cheaper...

 

However, I've come up with 2 builds, and I think this is the LAST question I will be asking you guys.. sorry :/

Both builds are around the same price

Which one?

If you can save up a little more money I'd do this.

You can also step down case wise to something else and save some coin. You didn't really give a budget.

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($214.99 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  ($26.98 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Extreme6/ac ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($153.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory  ($52.99 @ Newegg)

yeah i play at 1080p

You might want to consider a 280x. They're pretty solid cards.

Also, you need to quote someone like this, or tag them with an @ sign like this @x697 if you want them to know you've replied.

 

You don't need to be sorry about asking questions! That's why most of us are here. Bored, most likely.
