I'm looking to build a new gaming/folding rig and I've been out of the loop for a while and not sure if i'll be able to maximize both with this build.  As for games I mainly play WoW and SWTOR.  I plan on using the new build for about 4 years so I would like something fairly future proof as the gaming rig I just retired was an old i7-920 which served me well.
 
My $1200 budget is firm now tossed out the window and it doesn't include an OS which I can get at a discount.   I would really like a better GPU for folding but with my budget I'm not sure it's in the cards.  What do you guys think?

I have a Micro Center in my area so I'll be purchasing the CPU and probably the MB (there is an openbox MB for $99.98) from there the rest will most likely be Newegg unless I can find a GPU in the B stock.

Thanks Zuhl.  I am changing direction here.  I'm upping my budget and going with a 980 or 980ti.  I'll bump up to an 850 watt psu.  
 
Now to decide if I want a 980 or 980ti.  Is there a benefit other than cost to go with B stock instead of new?

Ok, updated my original post with a new PSU.
 
Here are the 4 GPU's I'm looking at, the Gigabytes look almost the same except one is called gaming edition, has leds, and is $30 more.  I know a lot of the rebates expired today so I'll have to do this all over again tomorrow.

The 980 ti is the latest workhorse because it has more memory and CUDA cores. I should have waited for the ti but money was burning a hole in my pocket. B Stock only has a 1 year warranty and I don't think that they give you a big enough price break at times to justify the shorter warranty period. Every now and then EVGA will surprise me with an outrageous low price so I keep looking for bargains. Normally most of my EVGA video boards fail in about 13 to 14 months and is another reason buying B Stock worries me.

I'm with Zuhl3156 on this one - I had the money burning a hole in my pocket so I have the 980, but the 980TI is a great choice new with a longer warranty and I agree with his mobo advice!
Best of luck on your build - I have had great results with my EVGA cards.

It sounds like this is going to a monster at Folding and kicking out some nice points for you, us, and the team.

All parts have been ordered. Thanks again Zuhl, robbie and Guns for your advice and support.

I'm excited to see what this build will do for folding.

Now the waiting for delivery game begins.

Here is what was purchased.

Nice setup.  I like it.  Especially the new 980ti... :)
 
If it's not too late, might want to consider an M.2 SSD.  Less cables, arguably faster, and roughly the same cost at this point.

Too late for an M.2 SSD at this time, maybe something i'll look into down the road.
 
The Phanteks case arrived today, and the rest of the parts should be here tomorrow.  Installed a pair of cooler master sickle 120mm case fans in the front.  Just an FYI if someone gets a Phanteks case, they say it will take 120mm fans but you are better served getting 140mm fans, the threaded holes line up perfectly for 140mm and if you use 120mm you will have to use the channels. Overall, I am very impressed with the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M case.
 
Too lazy tonight to install the cpu and motherboard.

Figure I should update this.   Bought a GTX 1080 used back when EVGA was running their iCX promo and traded it for an iCX card.  Ran folding on that new iCX card until a day before my step-up expired and then stepped-up to a 1080 Ti SC Black Edition GAMING card.
 
Been running that since September 2017.
 
Just got a killer deal on a 1080ti Hybrid so I'll be swapping that for the 980ti classy and run dual 1080ti.  May run the 980ti on my spare rig but it's an old AM3 board that I built on the cheap to tinker with mining a few years back. 
 
I really want to build a Ryzen rig as my everyday gamer with either a 1080ti or 1070ti but that's a few months down the road.

Yes a very worthwhile upgrade. Happy gaming and folding!

I have two different Ryzen rigs I use for both gaming and Folding.  One has a 1700x overclocked to 4.0 and a 1600 no overclock, both with Evga 1080ti's make 1.0 to 1.2 million points on each card.   Both with memory at 3200 hertz and have no issue playing games.  Either way Intel or AMD you'll be fine. 

It's a good time for budget builds. Many gpus are back towards original retail in anticipation of new gpus coming out in September. Even the 1080ti has been as low as 650 on the official Ebay store.
