Im planning to choose a combo from NewEgg for my new AMD $800 build. Im wondering which "Combo" is best to game with for the upcoming games such as Star Wars Battle Front, Black Desert MMO, and current games such as GTAV!

Combo 1: Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2254110
-XFX Double Dissipation R9-290A-EDFD Radeon R9 290 4GB
-AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+
-GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
-HyperX Savage 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
-Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
-CM Storm Scout 2 Advanced - Gaming Mid Tower Computer Case
-Rosewill ARC-750 ARC Series 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Single +12V Rail

Combo 2: Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2383114
-AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+
-MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ AMD 970 6 x SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
-G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)
-Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
-SAMSUNG 850 EVO MZ-75E120B/AM 2.5" 120GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
-XFX Black Edition Double D R9-280A-TDBD Radeon R9 280 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5
-Cooler Master HAF 912 - High Air Flow Mid Tower Computer Case
-CORSAIR CX series CX750M 750W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active
-Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan

Out of these two, i'm wondering to go for the better GPU combo or the combo with an SSD, better RAM, and CPU Cooler. Can you help me choose, or if you have a better idea/combo/etc. Then by all means please share! Thanks a ton!

What's wrong with your old build? Here
That 4690K and Z87 mobo will do you fine for a good while, only things I'd upgrade in it would be your GPU, PSU and maybe add an SSD. For this $800 budget you could some neat stuff.

Besides that, if this is an entirely new build perhaps for someone else, I'd wait a bit and grab something from the 300 series unless you can find some 200 series stuff in a clearance sale.

Out of those two combos I'd probably go for the former, it doesn't have an aftermarket CPU cooler or an SSD but both of those would make fine upgrades later down the line, unless you want to immediately be able to overclock and have an SSD from the start. It's sorta just a case of weighing up whether you'd prefer better gaming performance, no overclocking and slower boots or the opposite.

Its a test build for my current PC. After testing, if i didn't enjoy this rig, then id hand it off to a close friend so he could join the PC gaming scene.

Be aware that you should be able to pick up dirt cheap 290's (cheaper than that on pcpp listings) due to the 300 series release.
