Not sure what to choose

Hi MarkCayenne.    Welcome to the forums.     

Here's a build to consider.    The ODE 600T case is an excellent case with very good airflow.

The I5-4670k cpu is right on for gaming.  No need to go i7 for gaming only.

The EVGA 750 psu is a longer warranty than some of the default supplies listed  and is fully modular, meaning the cables plug in for easy psu swap if ever needed.

You didn't mention the monitor's resolution you'll be using, but the gtx 780TI is tops right now and will play super on a 1920x1080 monitor for example.

The Z87-C  motherboard doesn't allow for sli, 2x video card if that's in your future, but most won't  anyways if they don't right away.  The Sabertooth mobo does allow for sli , and even if you don't want sli, it is just a high quality board with longer warranty if in the budget. 

I upped the SSD  from default 120GB to the 240GB.  They do fill pretty quickly.  I actually meant to put in the Samsung 256Gb 840 .  Larger for the same price, but they're both good. 

Hope this helps and good luck.

The Bolt 2 is a real nice rig, but if space isn't an issue, the ODE gives you more upgrade options because its more spacious, easier to work on and a bit cheaper for the same performance.  But, the Bolt is a nice design.
