Scrap the k series cpu and spend the extra on a better gpu. An entry level i5 will be fine but the gpu is more important for gaming

I'm a student so my bugdet is lousy right now I could spend maybe 600 on a PC maybe 1,000 over time but I'm one of those better safe than sorry people. I had a 3-Way SLI in my old PC but I had a weak CPU bottlenecking a lot of performance. I'm not going to use those graphics cards however because those are away from where I go to school and I built that for my mother and her husband who use tons of multimedia like photoshop, 4ds studio blah blah blah... I can't go with a weaker CPU however because I have to render tons and tons of HD video and 3D animations just for school.

Well if I manage to get myself a GTX 980 or get that donated 780ti you're welcome to having the 680 or 660ti (my previous model) if you want, completely free of charge if that helps in the GPU dept.

You could also always try a double 660ti SLI or 680 combo, dunno how much 680's are but I'd imagine them to be cheap, 660ti's should be dirt cheap by now.

That would help out a lot honestly I don't know how I could ever thank you.

It's ok, I've been in your position before and from time to time I'm strapped for money so I've found it's good to donate what you can to another fellow PC gamer, the guy donating me his 780ti out of the blue inspired me to do the same =D.

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.

I can't wait either, the suspense is killing me, I also need to check if the new Death parade is out too.

Go the Intel route.
Don't bother getting the GT 610. Waste of money, the integrated GPU will do just fine for some games. I think you'd be surprised. In fact it might even beat the GT 610.

Yea thanks, just decided to get a stronger i7 and keep the iGPU for a bit then upgrade when the oppurtunity comes.
