Possible Build Soon!

[jman0887]

I'm planning my first build and was wondering if this is good for gaming at 1080p with some other uses as well? I will be purchasing a GPU later, a 770 or 780/780ti. The main question I have is the mobo. I don't know if I should go with the one in the PcPartPicker list or the http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132124&cm_re=asus_mark_1-_-13-132-124-_-Product   Here's the build :

You Don't need a i7, get a i5 4690K and a 550W psu and 8gb of ram and get a decent GPU to play games maybe a 280x or 770

This looks like it would make a pretty nice workstation, but for gaming, don't expect anything decent.

 

Right now it's ass for gaming, but if you add a good R9 290 (Tri-X maybe?), it'll be fine.

as above you dont need an I7

Would faster ram have any benefit? 

Also trying to stay with Blue and Black color scheme.

The EVGA psu I linked above is better than the Corsair HX.
