2 Questions:
1.
Are you set on the 8 core processor? I would recommend an i5 4690k [quad] over amd's 8 core because the performance in many cases can be better for 1. gaming in general 2. specifically much better in starcraft 2
2.
What kind of psu is it? Quality/brand?

This is the stuff i have together so far if i can convince you to go intel, since you have the budget for it.

If not, I can easily switch up to an amd and go from there.

Why does it matter? Hardware isn't restrictive like that. AMD CPU's can run Nvidia cards. Intel CPU's can run AMD cards.
