for your budget, defiantly intel, they are significantly faster than amd here, take way less power, are cooler, and has 8 threads, just like that chip.

Made some changes to your build, and was able to squeeze in a GTX 780ti. Also added an aftermarket cooler, since I would assume you intend to getting a K series chip.
