That mobo is way too expensive. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz170ngaming5

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

For just gaming, get an i5-6700K, or even a 4690K. Everything else looks good

 

i5 4460 would do all gaming, so does 970 or 390

but for an extra $100 i can upgrade to the current gen and have more features if i ever need them i dont want to have to upgrade those for another 5 or so years
