So right now I have this as my current setup

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z1wDUv6uBXVsCXOY6jH02KY7qc0PERuMGr1CKWKqFf8/edit?usp=sharing

Being stupid enough I found out that the motherboard is a workstation motherboard and that I really don't need a workstation mother board... or do I?

My computers purpose is all around general performance use, time to time adobe things and gaming

so instead should I replace the mother board with this?

and swap the i7 4790K for an i5 4690K?

also this build is based off of Linus' Ultimate Silent Gaming PC/Workstation Build video that he did, I did a few of my own little tweaks

I plan to add a liquid cooling CPU instead of the heatsink but I'll do that in the future

also one more thing

I'm new to all this computer hardware stuff and computer building so I barely know crap

does this mean it only supports DDR3 ram?

Do you need a monitor? Or do you already have one? And I am assuming your budget is around $2300, right?
