if it helps here's my current parts list of the hardware I'm going to be buying in the next few weeks: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/w8dZjX
I already own the GTX 680 (A friend gave me a few weeks back) and another friend donated me his unopened Intel Core i5-3570K both of which have saved me in money, I still need to find a place to buy the SSD though since I want faster boot times and loading for some games.
I would suggest going the Intel route though, I've seen AMD having it's troubles while Intel is expensive they do put out power and stabilization better than AMD can, I'd also suggest a beefier GPU, I'm fine with my 680 for now but I'm either getting a 780ti donated somtime soon but in the end I'm saving for a GTX 980 to carry me through the next 5 years.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
