If it's strictly for gaming, don't bother with an i7; get an i5.

 

Are you sure you want to spend that much on ram?

Do you need a $300+ motherboard?

Are you planning to SLI that 780ti? If not then 850w is way too much.

Haswell refresh is literally right there, I would suggest waiting and getting a z97 board.

 

If all your doing is gaming, the i5-4670k-4690k will do you just fine.

You don't have to wait if you don't want to, but Devil's Canyon will overclock better.

 

And if you want, swap that 780 Ti for 2x R9 290s. They will perform much better and they cost the same amount of money as a single 780 Ti.

I'm pretty sure we may be seeing it at Computex, which is basically now

don't listen to die hard core i5 fans, in new modern games the i7 is seriously kickin the butt out of the core i5 and if you don't want to bottleneck powerful graphics card in years to come with multi-threaded modern games get a core i7

Their argument was true a couple years ago but now games are starting to make good use of those extra threads and it starts to really shows in benchmarks...r
