August is quite a while from now. 

I'd suggest planning later. ~2-3 days at most before you buy. Parts and prices change frequently so any parts list you come up with now will likely be obsolete by the time you're ready to buy.

ok  i have done some research an this is what i came up with

CPU Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core $329.99 CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U9B SE2 37.9 CFM $44.98 Motherboard Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 $208.99 Memory Kingston Beast 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133$175.98 Storage Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD $189.98   Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM $148.99 Video Card Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB DirectCU II $678.99 Case Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower $109.99 Power Supply be quiet! 750W ATX12V / EPS12V $169.99 Optical Drive Asus BW-16D1HT Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer $79.99 Operating System Microsoft Windows 8.1 (32/64-bit) $109.99 Monitor Asus VG248QE 24.0"

$249.23

my budget was 2500 american dollars and this costs 2497 dollars . what i was asking about is  if you could advice me on a better build that cost this much that i can easily upgrade in to 4K gaming ( by that i mean just buying a new monitor  like the Asus one that cost 600 and add one more graphics card for 4K gaming) Wanted to know also iif i have to increase power supply when i upgrade

An 860W psu will allow for the addition of a second gpu.

 

My suggested build does not include an optical drive. Nor does the case support one. Windows can be installed from a USB stick so most people don't have a need for an optical drive.

 

A better cpu cooler that will also do a better job of showing off the build.

 

An IPS monitor will provide better color reproduction and wider viewing angles.

 

The Corsair AX860 is one of the best psu in its class and is fully modular.

thanks man but why the gigabyte graphic card i taught Asus had better cooling?

 

Either card is good. The differences are within what I consider the likely margin of error. You can check out reviews for each card by the same reviewer - Gigabyte: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gigabyte_geforce_gtx_780_ti_windforce_3x_review,28.html; Asus: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_directcu_geforce_gtx_780_ti_oc_review,28.html.
