B85 G43 is the mosy basic one . While z87 g43 is for overclocking
Get the msi r9 280x same tier as 770 and cheaper unless you want the free nividia games which asus are providing
To play games g.skill ripjawx 1600mhz enough you wont really feel much diff
Add in a ssd if can and youre good to go

yr current rig still can last u for years. u just need to upgrade yr GPU. Or maybe yr PSU, too if yr GPU is those very fierce type like GTX Titan

for gaming spend more on GPU. The rest use the cheapest will do. Cheap does not means not good and expensive does not means very good.

One thing for sure is that money saved and put inside yr wallet to make it gao gao is more than anything else
