i like the headphones because the Japanese pine wood... i mean who doesnt like some nice hard wood?

thanks alot guys i definitely will go with the z97 build. with what you said and the extra research i did i feel as though the z97 will work just fine especially if i just opt for a higher speed ddr3 ram. but to shorten things up im going to go with z97 and you guys saved me some money! so thanks alot!

Alright say i jump down to 4790k and z97 chipset, i still plan on keeping the 970 just because i really dont want to get flagship right now id rather wait and buy a better version that will be able to run good frame rates with just the single gpu at 4k, will there be any hindrance in being able to do that? like i don't want next gpu cycle to run around and turns out that i cant run the graphics card i need on the z97 and the 4790k... would that ever actually happen or am i overthinking things too much.

i considered both for quite some time and the only problem that i ran into was making sure that everything will be relevant for years to come? for example it seems as though intel is making the push for the 6 core and 8 core processors while the z97's seem to be reaching the end of their cycle and i don't want to need to replace mobo and cpu or either really when it does come time to upgrade the system to 4k and for what ever else i may decide to do? basically i just want the longevity to be as extreme as possible. also with such a build what would be the highest cpu speed on the 5820k i should overclock to, ive heard of some getting it high like 4.4 but i just dont know how safe that would be. but yes the 4790k is something i have been considering im just quite worried about longevity.

other than that does it look good? and which one would you recommend to cool it?

alright guys so im currently designing a build i haven't really bought anything yet but i just want a second pair of eyes to go through it to make sure ive got everything i need and that its right for what i want. Alright so first im going to say what i want out of this build. the main thing im going to be doing is gaming first and foremost but i also might do some video editing and uploading, i want a build that will last and be prepared for any future upgrades i might want to do. im trying to design it around a fairly decent budget but not spending a crazy amount of money doing it i am just trying to get the most out of my build the first time around with plenty of room for expansion and saving money where i can. eventually i want it to be able to run games at 4k and be prepared to do that so here is my part list 1. mobo: asus x99 deluxe 2. cpu: intel core i7 5820k 3. gpu: gigabyte nvidia gtx 970 overclocked 4. ram: 16GB corsair 2666 c16 ddr4 memory 5. hdd: 2TB western digital black 7200rpm sataIII 6. ssd: samsung 850 evo 250Gb 7. power supply: cooler master v750 8. case: Corsair vengeance series c70 9. optical drive: LG blu-ray Now i know this wont be enough to originally run 4k but there really are not any reasonably priced gpu's that can so im going to upgrade that when 4k becomes the standard and i feel like dishing out that money. also it will probably be a windows 8.1 machine just because im used to it on the machine im running now. im also wondering if i should invest in more cooling fans than come with the case and if being prepared for the ddr4 switch/six core processor is a good move. any feedback is greatly appreciated and if something on this build seems idiotic or im missing something dont be afraid to tell me. this is a good chunk of change i want to dish out and i want to make sure it is absolutely correct!!
