@Maheshvare Thanks and I agree but this is what we came up with. I will post my build on here soon I'm sure you will like it! :)

@Xaring

I like asus actually, I've done 2 ram's and those were just mobo's that were doa! Out of the other 25 some odd builds I've done using asus mobo's video cards and monitors. But that's my experience!

Go i5 or i7, less power consumption, more power. Also, get an MSI Z97 board!!! I dont trust Asus at all.

 

MSI Krait is sick , look at the comment above this one and check out my build ;)

Ya amd ram was I think $40 more and this was the ram he wanted. Over all I think good build so far. I'm worried about over heating! Just got last of parts putting it together this weekend and testing. Put pictures up if people request.

 

I wouldn't worry. That cooler is plenty good enough to tame that CPU and the GPU has a good custom cooler :)

Area 51 2014. Intel 5820k@ 4.4ghz. MSI X99.16gb Quad channel ram. AMD Fury X.Asus RAIDR.OCZ ARC 480gb SSD. Velociraptor 600gb. 2tb WD.
