So I'm planing to build my first gaming pc and i don't know what to choose, i have 2 options with my budget 
my first option is a

  • Intel i5 4690K
  • MSI Z97 GAMING 5
  • Gigabyte GTX 960 WD OC
  • HyperX 8GB (4x2) DDR3 1600MHz CL10
  • Cooler master G650M 650W semi-modular PSU
  • Fractal Design Define R5
  • WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm 64MB
  • Kingston 120GB HyperX 3K Series

its about 938 euros 
i do plan to overclock the 4690K and later upgrade with a second GTX 960 when i have more money
or

  • Intel i5 4460
  • Asus H97-PRO GAMER
  • Gigabyte GTX970 G1 4GB WD OC
  • Kingston HyperX 8GB (4x2) DDR3 1600MHz CL10
  • Cooler master B2 Series 600W PSU
  • Fractal Design Core 3500
  • WD Blue 1TB 7200rpm 64MB
  • Kingston 120GB HyperX 3K Series

this one is 943 euros
I'm looking for future proof, i will probably have this system for the next 5-6 years

So should i cheap out on other components and spend more money on the GPU or have better components and later up grade?

Thank you for the help. :)

(sry for bad english)

Go with the GTX 970 build, and I recommend change the motherboard to ASUS H97 PLUS, and yo dont need a 600W PSU if you didnt overclock anything, and go with the seasonic psu, and change the cpu to i5 4590  because better boost speed, and sorry for bad english and the many "and"
