If you're only going to be gaming go with 8Gb of RAM, an Asus Sabertooth Z87 board, an i5 4670K and a 600W bronze cerified PSU.

what about fx-6300 i'm serious about this cpu .. i saw a video on youtube which was very good

 

i want to know .. does it run 1440p very good and smooth?

The CPU isn't really going to help any after you eliminate bottlenecks and the CPU will not bottleneck your GPU. If you want to play on 1440p smoothly you'd need a GTX 770 with 4GN of VRAM or a 780 with 4GB of VRAM.

Than you should just get an i5 4670K, 8GB of RAM and a 600W PSU that is Bronze certified.
