Why not make one post?

 

First you don't need the i7 unless you are doing editing work, the i5 4690K is more than enough. Secondly get a decent Z97 motherboard like the Z97-A or MSI Z97 SLI kariat edition.

So Far i have picked out:

MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 graphics card

 

intel Core i7 i7-4790K

 

I know you have to have a motherboard that is compatible with the processor you have and don't know what to look for.

Any price.

Do you plan to OC if you do then you can get any Z97 motherboard if you don't then you could just get a H97 if you want cheaper.

 

Decent Mid range Z97=Gigabyte Z97X Gaming 3/5, SOC

                                      MSI Z97 SLI Krait,MSI Z97 G45 or MSI Gaming 3

                                      ASUS Z97 A/AR or Pro gamer

 

High end = ASUS Z97 Sabertooth series, Maximus series

                  MSI Z97 Gaming 5/7/9, MSI MPower

                                                                                                                 Setup
