Get unlocked version of that cpu

Get Samsung 850 if the price is similar (i have no idea of 850 price)

It's good, but please delete one of the two topics you made.

bit overkill if thats all you'll be playing, but it'd def handle anything youd throw at it.

 

also, i agree with the above poster, z97 is mainly for overclocking capability and features, so it seems a bit odd that you have one with a non-k series processor.
