Glad the post was useful to you though. in honest it might have been better to open a new thread, so that other experience users would see and comment, where they might not now. But that is okay, I can help you some.
Thanks. Whether recognized or not, we do know that Taiwan hadn't been getting along well with China's central government since their existence. There's been a good thaw in relations, but it doesn't feel like Taiwan would be officially absorbed by China anytime soon. As to when the world starts/started recognizing Taiwan as "part of China", I haven't heard much about that (and there are also multiple ways to define "part of China", including cultural, political and social dimensions).
But if you meant that deep down inside everyone feels that Taiwan and China are the same country and the same people, then I guess most of the world won't object to that. Officially speaking, since the governments are completely independent of each other in internal and external affairs, they're sovereign countries. So I guess we're talking about the same facts from different types of benchmarks *tech reference heheh*!
Back to this topic, yes I don't plan to overclock my RAM or even my CPU. My plan is a i5-4670, and that's quite good enough for my needs, so a better overclocking motherboard and 4670k would be unwarranted.
A lower end motherboard and the 4670 would cost me almost USD100 less in comparison, which all gets channeled to a better GPU 😉 (Thinking about a GTX670 OC, since the ASUS GTX670 is only ten bucks more than GTX760)
Any strong opinions on that either--my config? Is the CPU/GPU quality balanced?
Probably gonna get the parts and build it in early December, so I'll be lurking this/these thread(s) for a little while
I think your tech related expression fits pretty well here haha. We are looking at the same info and just viewing it in different ways.
As for your computer. First, I personally would advise against getting an i5-4670. My reasoning for this is completely because Intel has a series of CPUs often overlooked by most users, the Xeon server CPUs. At the same price as the i5-4670, you can get a Xeon CPU that is 3.2Ghz instead of 3.4Ghz so in a way its a little slower, but it also has an additional 2MB of L3 cache, and hyper threading. So in reality it will perform about the same, but when you have a heavily threaded task it will perform much much better.
Another way of looking at it is, an i7 CPU at an i5 cost.

Also ignore the TDP Newegg has listed, Intel lists a TDP of 84 just like all the others. I personally would go with this over the i5.
As for graphics, I personally would go with AMD. I feel that you get a better performance per dollar out of them. Thats not including their game deals either, but Nvidia is also good.
I am happy to help you look through everything, but again I don't mean to nag but it would be better for you to start a new thread.Helps to keep things straight, because sometimes people jump in without reading anything except part of the first thread and then post nonsense, and also other users who have a much better handle on the Nvidia cards will be able to pitch in.
If you do make one, and would like me to still help you, then just give me a PM and I will come find it and help in whatever way I can.
Good luck with the build
