H97 mobo with a Unlocked CPU?

I say for gaming if you overclock the 4690K it'll be better but that ain't happening with that H97 Chipset.

Won't be doing much gaming on that build tbh (well only on low/medium settings). However rendering wise and CPU intensive tasks it would be great with a Xeon.

I'd say Xeon.

 

They're basically the same thing without integrated graphics, although they are clocked a bit lower.

Intel Core i3 2100 @ 3.10GHz - Intel Stock Cooler - Zotac Geforce GT 610 2GB Synergy Edition

Intel DH61WW - Corsair® Value Select 4GBx1 DDR3 1600 MHz - Antec BP-300P PSU

WD Green 1TB - Seagate 2.5" HDD 1TB - Seagate Barracuda 500GB - Antec X1 E.

Get the R9 380.

 

16 GB RAM is too much for gaming. However it is safe for the work that you listed.

You can always add RAM, while to buy an R9 380/960 4GB you'd have to sell your old one.
