New Build Need confirmation

[0racle]

I am looking to upgrade my pc this Christmas for 1080p gaming and I need some help confirming if the parts I have chosen will not have any issues and I also wont mind some recommendations for parts. So here are the parts I have in mind:

 

CPU: I7 4790K

Mobo: Asrock Z97 Pro4

GPU: GTX 970 Strix

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 2x4GB DDR3

Case: Fractal Design R4/w Window (ATX Mid Tower)

PSU: EVGA Supernova 550W Gold+

 

[vK 3 1 RON]

YOU ARE.... GOLD (GOLD - AHH)

You don't need an i7 for gaming, an i5 is fine. You could even go skylake and get a Z170 board and DDR4 RAM. Also, unless you don't need Nvidia's features and such get an R9 390.

Sorry for the lack of info, I am building a whole new pc in the UK and my budget is no more than £815.

It includes 1440p IPS display, there's also the option of a free-sync 1080p 144hz display

You'll want a 390 over a 970 due to 125% more VRAM, bit more performance especially at higher resolutions, and potentially better DX12 support

 

an i7 is also unnecessary for gaming, especially an unlocked one, a Xeon 1231v3 is a better option in that regard
