Pro tip: link them in ur post as well. Can't click them while in a poll.

 

That said.

 

I think you should go for the 6500 because it leaves a lot of room to upgrade in the future.

Go Haswell.. By the time you have to upgrade there will already be a new socket out for the next generation of CPUS.

Also get a R9 380 or R9 285 or R9 280x. They all are faster then the 960, all the way up to 14% increase in FPS depending on game.

What about PSU and Case?

Please avoid that PSU. Especially not for a med-high end build.

Go for a XFX or Seasonic or a EVGA B2 GS or G2
