seems nice but if it is a workstation you might aswell look into buying a xeon e3-1231 v3 it is quad core with HT and base clock at 3.4 ghz boost 3.8 ghz so you get pretty similar to stock 4690k and even tho you loose oc'ing you get HT for the same price as a 4690k and i htink the xeon would be better value for a workstation then

There's too much emphasis placed on calling a system a workstation, server or gaming rig. My comment is more practical - CPU choice in your case might be less important than amount of storage and memory for most "workstation" applications - even non pro grade software is going to consume that 120GB SSD pretty quick, let alone adding any large game apps.

Well I'm not doing business grade work but I do stuff like Photoshop and video production. My build doesn't need to be overpowered therefore I can afford it earlier.

Can you make the color "automatic" so day theme users can read this?

Try to go for a R9 390 as it is as powerful and has more VRAM than the GTX 970

Also change the color on automatic (Day theme user here)
