Hello again. Can you check this parts and correct if something can be better for ~same money. This list missing PSU and Case, because I've not found what I've choose on my local shop (Ukrainian Rozetka shop) on Part picker.
Also this ~730$ are 820$ for me because of UAH currency.

Thanks.
Any reason for the sound card? The Xonar dgx is barely better than the onboard. You'd have to have some extremely nice speakers and be an audiophile to tell a difference.

Well, gonna try without it first and then decide. Will Creative sound blaster audigy work on this?
Also is there any reason to get 3-4 gb videocard? I have 1680x1050 monitor.
Nah, you're good with the 2gb model

It would only matter if you do heavy Skyrim modding or stuff. 2 GB is definitely fine.
It wouldn't matter even then.
More VRAM is only required if you like gaming in resolutions higher than 2k, or you have multiple monitors.
Maybe replace H87 with Z87 atleast? More overclocking potential that can be utilized in the future.

The memory bus would be over saturated before you could use all 4gb for the most part

Then he would also have to bump the budget for an unlocked processor in addition to the board. And a cooler if he wants to take advantage of the extra money spent
Which is why the 4 gb 760 and 770 and the 6gb 780 are all gimmicks. The memory bandwidth will become a bottleneck far before the extra vram becomes useful.
And i also suggest you get a z97 board (same price) and a 4670k with a cooler. You'll only go slightly over budget since you dropped the sound card.
The 780 has a 384 bit memory bus so it's not as bad
I'm not going overclocking, so H87 and 4670 will be fine for me I guess.
Tell me about overclocking more, is it worth the risk?
Adjusting the multipliers on unlocked parts isn't going to do much other than reduce the life of the processor, or make the machine unstable/crash/not boot. Doing more advanced things like messing with the bclk and voltages is begging for trouble if you don't know what you're doing.
If you want to learn about overclocking, the best thing is to buy some old parts that are cheap that won't make you scream if they fry. You can get old LGA775 motherboards and Core 2 Duo processors for dirt cheap to experiment with overclocking on.

Theres lots of tests that prove its as useless with 6gb as the 760 and 770 are with 4. Amd is much better manufactured for higher res than nvidia.
Use the newer H97 boards instead of H87, and the i5 4690 if it's not more expensive than the 4670

I would like too, but looks like they not gonna come to Ukraine for now.
What is better: Asus, MSI or Gigabyte?

Do some research on each one and weigh their pros and cons based on the features you're really looking for in a motherboard. If I recall, many Gigabyte mobos are well known for their superior on-board audio chipsets, if you're into that sort of thing.
Actually gigabyte has slightly inferior audio
I would definitely not get that power supply, get one from a reputable brand like seasonic, xfx, corsair or antec

MSI actually has the best onboard audio from the g45 up.
They're all the same at that price range, and the new z97 boards pretty much all have noise isolated audio circuitry. For example the Gigabyte Z97X SLI has isolated ALC1150 115dB SNR audio and rear amplifiers at the low end of the price range. Though MSI definitely has top quality audio, but they tend to lack other features.
