Need CPU Shoping Help

[SavingPvtEric]

Hello, I am going to be building a brand new PC over the summer and I need help picking a CPU that would work in my build. I have no budget for the build and I will be using the PC for gaming primarily and a bit of graph design with Photoshop and Corel. So if you could leave suggestions with a reason why I should get that CPU and the pros and cons of the CPU that would be very helpful.

 

PC PARTS:

Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard

Corsair dominator platinum DDR3 RAM 1600MHz 2x8GB

Corsair H100I CPU Cooler

Samsung 840 Evo 120GB SSD

Seagate Barracuda 3TB HDD

Asus ROG Striker Geoforce GTX 760 graphics card

Corsair HX750 PSU

Intel CPU?

What's your budget? If you don't need to overclock, then don't go Z97.

go with a z97 and an i5

such as the 4690k

This is a very nice build from day one, that allows for future upgrades.

 

Don't spend so much on a motherboard, motherboard doesn't impact performance, its all about what features it has.  Buy an i5 and pair it with the best GPU you can afford.  Either an R9 290 or GTX 780 would be the best options before you start to see diminishing performance returns on your investment.

Then definitely the i5-4690K. Or the i7-4790K because you have the cash and just don't care.
