It will max out whatever you throw at it on 4K without AA.

However there are MUCH better builds that can be done for that money.

i7 4970k+ MSI Z97 GD-65 + 2 separate R9 290X, all with a EVGA G2 850W, is cheaper and far more powerful.

How in the world is that more powerful?

Welcome to the Forum! Make sure that you check out the CoC here (tl;dr - don't be a dick).

 

As for your system, there are several places for improvement. 

 

1. You won't need 1600w for this system. Hell, you don't even need 1300w. You should be fine with 1000w or 1200w. Also, I've never heard of LEPA, I don't trust PSU's from companies I've never heard of before. 

 

2. If I was you, I'd find a smaller case. Something like the 750D or H440 from NZXT. The 900D is MASSIVE and you won't even be using 2/3 of all the room in it. It would just look empty.

 

3. I wouldn't buy an H100i again. As an owner of one, I'm not very pleased with it. I could have bought an H100 instead of an H100i for literally half the price but I thought Corsair Link would be helpful. To say the least I haven't touched it since I first installed it, and most of the time it ignored my corrections anyways. If I were you I would buy an H105 or a Kraken X60 from NZXT.

 

4. You probably don't need a Disk Drive unless you need it for reasons other than installing your OS.

 

5. I wouldn't recommend going with that 4tb drive. Anything over 2TB has a much higher failure rate. I'd go with a 2TB WD Black (or just a barracuda) and a 250-500GB Samsung Evo SSD.

 

6. Why do you want a different sound card? The onboard on the Formula is plenty for most headphones, especially since you're only gaming. 

 

Want to respond to this? Let me know by hitting the quote button on the bottom right :)

 

Another thing, what is your budget? You could probably get a little bit more power out of the system in your price range.

I just want to know if this Complete build will work. I want to play at 4k on all max settings. 

TBH, it isn't really possible to max out ALL games at 4K yet, even when spending 5K (see what I did there) on a PC.  But that is as close as you can come, and you will have an awesome experience gaming!  Now you just need to give me a nice fat payment for my advice so I can spend that much too!  :P

The i7 can beat the FX 8350 any day, specially on games. The R9 295X, is only 2 Hawaii GPUs on the same PCB, getting 2 separate R9 290Xs, will achieve much better clocks on the GPU and VRAM.

I would get a bigger SSD but otherwise it is fine. Threads don't aid compared to cores in multithreaded games, so I would keep the FX 8350 (no I'm not saying it's better just no real point getting a 4970k). 

PC: Corsair C70 Arctic, FX 9370, Corsair H80i, Gigabyte 990fxa-ud3, Corsair Vengence 16gb, Palit JetStream GTX 970, OCZ Vertex 4 128gb and Western Digital Blue 1Tb + 500gb, Antec Gamer 520w

Peripherals: Logitech G19 and SteelSeries Sensei RAW

Toshiba L50-A: i7 4700mq, 8gb, 1TB HDD, GT 740M 2gb

But but...  The 295X2 is better than two 290Xs in benchmarks...

On some benchmarks, they do, and the difference is minimal, but remember you can't really OC on the R9 295X, while the R9 290X has a bit more headroom, For example the MSI R9 290X lightning, OC'd, shows performance improvements over 10% compared to the stock card. Crossfire that and it's a no brainer.

The benchmarks where the R9 295X can come up ahead is always compared to a stock R9 290X
