GPU Palit GTX 970 Jetstream
PSU Corsair TX750 v2
CASE - Corsair Spec 03 Carbide

just a heads up, the build is more focused on gaming. so if you guys think the 4790k isn't worth it for that purpose (even futureproofing) then please do tell.

The Corsair TX750 is pretty loud even at idle check out the AX760, it runs cooler and nearly silent. Most games don't take full advantage of hyperthreading so i don't think the  i7-4790K will make that big of a difference for gaming.
