That guy just went full handicap.

I'm using a HP Pavilion a6610t CTO

And I'd like something new, should I get the 400$ one from the OP?

Hey, welcome. I used that machine before you as well, it's pretty good for 775!
It wouldn't really be worth it to get the $400 model as you wouldn't see much of an increase in performance. Plus, with the HP, you're running on the last generation Intel processors which really aren't that bad, and I wouldn't drop that for AMD.
If you're looking at doing an entirely new build, I'd recommend looking for just a case to start. Get yourself a larger, nicer chassis and put all the guts from the HP into the new chassis, and then over time you can upgrade everything piece by piece - starting with the HDD(s), then the Graphics Card, then the motherboard/processor/ram all in one show. Of course, you'll also want a good power supply.
That way, by the time your build is done, you'll have a really good system that you learned to put together yourself - you'll know how everything fits together and how everything is compatible and incompatible with the last generation architecture and the 1155 or 2011 architectures.

Why even bother asking if GTX 690 or Titan? Obviously Titan, it's been proven faster.

actually single card benchmarks show that the 690 is a bit faster than the titan
