Im painting the GTX 980's red to go with the colour scheme.

 

My budget is about $4500 (AUD).

 

Any advice would be very much appreciated!!!

 

Thanks.

Ok cause if you were only gaming then you wouldn't notice much difference with an i5 4690K and 8GB ram but it will help in editing having your current parts.

Your probably right but i'd rather not downgrade it anymore lol. I'v changed it from a x99 buid to this already

Even for gaming i would stay with 16GB games like Star Citizen use my 8GB and i cant have anything loaded in the background. Even Project Cars i need to close my Chrome to play it without stutters here and there

What resolution are you going to aim for? What's your monitor(s) setup.

You should get 4790k now that it's going in sale in microcenter.

, full atx board and case? How much storage? Maybe you want to go Asus extreme :)?

I looked at your page and man those prices are very expensive, you could get more.

Btw why not go for h240x instead of kraken?
