Go to solution Solved by JuztBe,

actually i have the GPU and a 144 hz monitor and i still have around 1900USD to be honest i'm thinking of a setup that would handle 4K in the futur

So you should change:

RAM: From DDR4 to DDR3. RipJaws/Vengence. From 1600 to 2400Mhz, doesnt really matter. Maybe even 16GB instead of 8GB(because screw you google chrome)

Motherboard: Z97 MSI gaming, Gygabyte gaming or any other which looks nice to you. Someone who knows more about MBs could help you.

CPU: I7 4790k. Or even i5 4690k. Since you have a lot of money to spare I would go for I7 

4k: If planning to go for 4k you need at least 2 GPUs. x2 GTX 980  for now is way to go.

You should buy different motherboard for gaming, not CPU :)

You can even save money with going i5 over i7.

For gaming? Well, if you dont mind paying that much for just a gaming PC, then i7-5820K.... but personally I think the X99 platform is overkill for gaming and not really needed. They are more suited for workstations now

Use partspicker for compatibility, you need to change the mobo and ram because (AFAIK) no z97 board supports DDR4

Keep the CPU.

I don't think you need "best" motherboard. It really deepens on your needs. All thees Asus Rampage ultra to the max VII costs a lot because they have features which regular peasant doesn't even know it exists.

That can be done with Z97 mobo and a compatible CPU, 4K more depends on GPUs :) thus you can save more money on those mobo and CPU and invest more in GPU power :) SLI maybe?

And why do you insist on DDR4? there is almost zero noticable difference in gaming compared to DDR3

Because it's his first time building a PC?

In a gaming you always want to put your budget towards better gpu. Two 970 can handle 4k though only with medium settings and low aa.

Get 16gb and a i5/i7. Depends if you do core intensive programs. For gaming only i would go with the i5 and 16gb of ram.

Gaming Gear: Cooler Master TK Stealth | Sennheiser PC350SE | Steelseries Rival | LG IPS23L-BN ' 5ms | Philips Brillians 144hz

K is unlocked. Which makes the processor able to overclock.
