Sweet build.

Why no Pentium K?

I'm worried the lack of cores will hinder development

[MattP123]

Why do you need TWO 50 FOOT HDMI CABLES?

Oh I don't think it will especially if it's just for gaming, check out Linus's video on it

I would get a 850 Pro SSD as they are the same price.

I do have the 850 pro listed.

Livingroom gaming when the need arises, (my TV only has HDMI)

That makes more since. I was really confused.

I did watch it, maybe I should rewatch, it certainly would slash the price

 

edit* rewatched and still concerned about heavily threaded work loads

I would go with the i7 as it will be more futureproof then a dual core anyways.

Great build, the only thing I would do differently is the case, but that is purely subjective. I have the Z97 Sabertooth Mark 1 in my build and I am loving it. The thermal armor looks great in a windowed case
