Okay, so I have a 750 dollar budget (including all you see in the part lists, windows, headphones, mic monitor,kb,mouse,etc.) so if you edit my build please keep the custom items and filters in place :)

I will be playing Star Wars Battlefront 3 once it comes out (same game engine as BF4), Minecraft with shaders, Planetside 2, World of Tanks, and CS:GO. I am mainly wondering about SWBF3 (basically battlefield 4) and Planetside 2, because I know I will run all the other games just fine.
Here are the builds, an i5 an and i5 one. Tell me which one is better, so I can decide.

Thanks in advance!

the i5 one is better, mainly because games like Planetside 2 are VERY CPU demanding. But I'd suggest you upgrade your CPU to the i5 4690k because you want better performance since the games you stated are very CPU demanding.

In my personal experience, when Playing Planetside 2 with the i5 4690k (base clocked) I get 75 FPS in small/ medium battles, but when it comes to bio lab battles (a.k.a lagfest) I get an impressive 30-40 FPS with this CPU.

Thanks, that's what I was expecting. I saw a few benchmarks, and the i5 4440 was only 5 fps behind the 4690 (non k) in Battlefield, so I don't feel as I need to pay 40$ more for that CPU. :)
