Yeah I will wait for a deal on a 970 or another 4GB 960 deal........

So the wife's build will have a custom loop not because it's needed but more so for looks to add some color. I got her a smoking deal on an MSI 750 TI OC on black Friday was like $75, and got her an EK water block for it. She has a supremacy EVO too, and I am thinking of an 860K or FX 6300 for her build. This will be here email surfing the net PC but be in the living room for her and the girls to use together for youtube kids and my oldest daughter 8 is dying to start on Minecraft soon after a holiday visit north to family's house.
She has 8GB of Corsair LP Ram, an EVGA 650W PSU that I might steal for my build not sure yet, and clear tubing and chrome fittings and the mayhems white concentrate to add color to. I was going to go with an i3 4160 and H81 mitx mobo but feel she might be better served the AMD route on this one we shall see......
Again input is welcomed on this setup. This will be hooked to the flat screen in the living room hence the 750 Ti I feel will be fine for 60FPS max on a 1080P tv screen
Let's use this as a starting point for her build:

The stuff with $0.00 for price is already on hand.

This needs to be done and shipped to MD for the end of the month as his B-Day is on the 29th.........

The 6300 build for my brother?
Yes for his I plan on an aftermarket heatsink or maybe an AIO. I have not gotten to the case decision yet. I like to try and nail down a good idea on the parts being used then pick the case, I have found this is easier than the other way around unless you HAVE to use a particular case for whatever reason, which is not the situation here.

Yes, the 6300 build.
Unless you're pushing for a big OC, stick to a heatsink. If you're using an AIO you'll need to rig up a fan on the socket area.
You'll be looking for either a mid tower or full tower either way with AM3+ so form factor isn't an issue here.

How do you think an 860K would fare with a GTX 960 for 1080P gaming vs the 6300...... this is the debate I keep going back and forth on for his build......

Depends on the games. If they can use more than 4 compute threads, the 6300 will win out.
That said, I recommended Intel early on for a reason, AMD is really showing its age on the newest titles...

No worries, just didn't feel like typing it all again
Yeah, the i3/750Ti should be fine for her.
Ok cool, so then 4690 K's for the other two?
