Which one would be better for a $1800 AUD budget just for the hardware? I would have the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 650W PSU for the i5 build, but there isn't an AUD price listing for it, so I just added the 750W.

 

What could I change for either of the builds, or are they good as is?

 

And yes, I ended up deciding to go with the R9 390 for the extra performance for ~same price as the 970.

The i5 build if you're solely gaming.

 

You've paired an unsuitable PSU and a H97 with an unlocked CPU for the i7 build.

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder
