Hello sifus, I am planning to build my rigs for movie watching, web surfing and some gaming (Civilization 5 and a little bit of Sims). Budget is around 2-2.5k, no monitor needed. Don't need see thru or fancy case with lots of lights.

Given that Civilization is quite CPU intensive, I would like to go for i7-4770 instead of i5 (I know it doesn't benefit from i7 now but since i'm going to use it for years, i think civ 6 might be able to reap the extra power of i7 when it's launch in 2015). As for hdd, i need at least 1TB but i don't mind having a 2 or 3TB if there are any good one. Don't need SSD but can i have at least 8gb of ddr3 1600mhz ram. For GPU, i think i'd go for gtx 660 or hd7850. I found some reviews here, can u guys tell me which one is more suitable for Civ 5. Here are the link

Asrock B85M Pro4 rm279
G.Skill 4+4gb 1600mhz value ram rm95x2
WD Caviar Blue 1tb rm199
