I am new to configuring PC's and I have finally come up with the final two builds that I need to chose between. My main goal for this PC is to be able to run ANY game at MAX settings at 1080p with a steady 60+ FPS. I will also be using it for lots of school work, (As I am only 13) such as video editing and programming. Please chose what configuration you believe is better and if you feel the need to make a change to a configuration feel free to do so. Please note: Price is NOT an issue! (THANKS in advance!) ALSO! I am not sure how many Watts of power I need in my PSU for either of these builds, I am interested in overclocking, so if you wouldn't mind telling me a good PSU and Wattage that would be much appreciated!

Configuration 1:

Case: Rosewill Thor V2 Gaming Case
CPU: i7 - 3770k
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooling System
RAM: 16gb Corsair Vengance 1600mhz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB EVGA Superclocked
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z77
PSU: ???

Configuration 2:

Case: Rosewill Thor V2 Gaming Case
CPU: i7 - 4770k
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid CPU Cooling System
RAM: 16gb Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB EVGA Superclocked
Motherboard: ASUS Z87 Deluxe
PSU: ???
 
Solution
The 4770K is a little stronger clock for clock but the 3770K OCs better with less heat, so if intending a mild /med OC up to about 4.5 - 4.6 the 4770K is better...For a PSU I'd look at Seasonic, may starting with a 520
