	both systems are designed to run games on high settings at resolutions upto 2560 x 1600. at 2560 x 1600 or above at high settings, you will need another gpu. I left you a 1000w psu, so you can upgrade to future cards and meet their power requierments, otherwise all you need for the listed gpus is a 750w. because this is an i7 cpu and it just cameout, you can upgrade to any cpu that is socket 1366. you case can hold and handle upto 6 optical drives and 5 HDDs.
