So far on my journey I've got about 3 parts.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
My first doubt is the motherboard, am I being too cheap on it (meaning should it be swapped without another)? I've got no ideas on how to O.C so I doubt I'll be doing that any time soon but there's a slight possibility that I will attempt it in the future (hence the i5-4670K).
I am confident that the CPU will be adequate so I'll just leave that as is with no upgrades for the future.
My second dilemma is the PSU, should I go with a Corsair one? So far this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] has proven it's durability on my APU. I'm mentioning this because some of the GPUs I'm contemplating with will not require a power cable.
Thirdly, I've got this [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] stick on my current PC so I'm wondering if I can use it with a Haswell compatible motherboard until I can afford faster speed RAM sticks.
As for my case, I've also got [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] I am currently using, would the new motherboard be able to fit inside?
Lastly, the most boggling part, which GPU should I go with? Due to my cheapness I think I chose outdated GPUs or maybe even incompatible ones.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Does not require power cable.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Requires new PSU however rather cheap also.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] Looks very solid and will buy if all I need is the the CPU, GPU, PSU, MOBO.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] These are rather expensive but I haven't seen such solid reviews

Although I would like to reuse previous computer parts; if necessary then feel free to build a completely new one. I've got at most $640 (U.S) and will pull a OS magically from somewhere (as in I'm going to TPB).
Primary uses: Casual gaming, at most R2TW (on ultra).
Peripherals: none. I'm sure [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] will hold me for some couple more years.
