Here are two different builds i have setup on the sight I would buy my parts from. Which would you pick?
i5 GTX 780 build:http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=177800&action=wish_lists
i7 GTX 770 build:http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=wish_lists&wlcId=160486&action=wish_lists
Would like to hear some feedback. :) Or what you would change.
If you're just playing games, the 780 is obvious, but if you have a budget and are doing video editing and rendering, go 770 with the i7.

If you need it cheaper drop the water cooling for an air cooler.
A 780 is overkill unless you are gaming multi monitor or above 1080p
This setup is almost the same as my rig and it handles everything i throw at it with room to spare (my 3570K is at 4.6 with a Kraken x40 and stays below 70 under prime95)
I will spend the majority of my time gaming. And possibly do a little bit of video editing. What do you think I should pick?
imo go with the i7 and the 770 for the best of both worlds
