Hey guys. I've read a few things here and there on PC Building and i have decided its time to build one of my own (Woo PC Master Race)

I have a 1900$ (US) dollar budget for a gaming PC that is capable to output 4K resolution. I have an idea for a build but i would really like some personal opinions on it. 
I cant go past my budget only because I need to leave some money aside for a small Ethernet Switch so everything (Amazon Fire, PS4, 360, and PC) can be hooked up directly.

 

I would like to be able to do animation and graphic design work on it as well, if possible.

I am willing to change parts and all advice will be considered. 
(Except for the Logitech G900, that will stay)

 

Again, any personal opinions will be considered. Thank you guys!

4k you say. Would be worth to wait for Polaris and Pascal.

When I change to a DDR4 setup, Z170 motherboard, and an i7-6700k, its only ~$60 more.  I'd recommend you do that instead of being on the older DDR3 stuff/earlier gen CPU.

 

 

 

 

I would really not like to go above the 1900 dollar budget i have,

I am looking at these 2 cards, unsure of which to pick. 

Neither, 980ti for 4k or wait for Polaris/Pascal to drop.

I feel confident about this. 
i went down to an i5 6600K because i noticed that the extra 100$ does not really make up for THAT much extra performance, it will be a gaming rig most of the time anyways.
