So, an i5 (with an aio or a dark rock pro from bequiet) + standard z97 mobo + 970/980 msi gaming + 8gb + an ssd on a 520w psu, it will be perfect.
Its weird you can even keep a single component, dunno wtf happend but you still have some really good hardware in your list.
i5 2500k@4,9ghz / Gtx980 Msi Gaming / 2x SSD Samsung 840pro 256gb / Acer Predator 24" G-sync
Corsair K95 RGB / Logitech G502 Proteus Core / Bose Companion 2 Serie III

how about you try getting a cheaper PSU and get a SSD with the saved amount and some spare money. it would really help in booting and data transfer and data reading speeds Wink

An i7 might be worth it for the toughest games, if hyper threading helps with software rendering.

Agreed. Hey, how many software threads can your i7 handle?

hmm, depends on the game. sometimes I will get better performance on 4+ threads but, there are also some games which have a decrease in FPS when on 4+ threads. normally, 4 threads is the sweet spot for me on most games.
