Q:
Best PC Gamer build
For GW2 the first one, because this game is terribly CPU bound and you need all the power you can get. Also a GTX 750 Ti is enough to handle the graphics side of things max at 1080p (for the settings that are not CPU intensive, like Shadows).
If you don’t want to overclock, there’s also a 4670 model without the K. I have to tell you though that your fps will be capped by your CPU power, so you might want to reconsider OC’ing. It’s really not harder than pressing 2 buttons, but it’s your choice. It would also require you to buy a better CPU cooler.

I second that, nowadays motherboard manufacturers are including “easy OC” switch / softwares. Those are not the best of course because it doesn’t create an OC based on your CPU (I mean that each CPU are different so you could get one which doesn’t require the vcore applied by the automatic problem) but they are sufficient to give a boost to your K cpu.
I’ve read in the past that the MSI OC genie was quite correct for example, you might check the MSI Z87-G55 motherboard which is in the same price range as the asus Z87-A.
