So I've had little to no help on this subject or i should rephrase it to not getting an answer. Here's my build I need reviewed.  http://pcpartpicker.com/list/XyGgLD

I already have a hard drive and a cpu (i7 4770 @ 3.4 ghz). I have picked the define s case due to the outstanding build quality and design. Especially the drive cages built into the cable management panel on the other side. With the ability to put large radiators and pumps in for water cooling. I've picked the gtx 1070 due to the amazing performance at 1080p and 1440p. I will be playing the witcher series so the 1070 is kind of a must unless there is a more capable card at that price range that isn't the rx 480.I do need help picking out a good kit of ram. I'll have to buy 2 kits (16gb) because I'll be doing some video editing on the rig as well. I have had some ridicule on my mobo choice but I have to stay in the lga 1150 socket family because I already have the cpu and cannot buy another one. So if anyone can help me with a mobo choice that would be fantastic. A cpu cooler seems to be fine and seems to get the job done but if anyone has another recommendation be sure to let me know. that seems to be it. Thank you guys a bunch for helping me!

Get a cheaper h97/b85 mobo instead, pointless to get z97 when your cpu doesn't support overclocking.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

It's a different one. Which is more expensive than the one you had. I don't know why @The Realist picked a more expensive one o.O

 

I've got the Z97 Krait, it's a great MOBO.

 

You could go for a cheaper H or B chipset MOBO since your CPU can't be overclocked.

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

A gaming PC for your budget: $800 - $1000 - $1500 - $1800 - $2600 - $9001

could you link the specific board? Also would there be a point in being the z97 if i want to upgrade my cpu later down the road?

Even if you did upgrade it would not be worth it since the strongest CPU you could get is a i7 4790K which is a little faster than a i7 4770

Eh, what ports? They have identical IO from what I saw

Which one? (I like the Krait better because of the color scheme but it's up to you of course)

 

I'd get the z97, you don't save a ton (maybe $50 at the extreme). Although, the 4790k would be the best CPU you could get, which isn't a huge improvement over the 4770 (unless you overclock the 4790k)

i7 4790k | MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition | G.Skill Ripjaws X 16 GB | Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB | 2x Seagate Barracuda 2TB | MSI GTX 970 Twin Frozr V | Fractal Design R4 | EVGA 650W

Woops, kinda hard to tell when MSI has to move the ports all over the place.

 

Yeah, the GAMING 5 has 2 extra USB 2.0 ports

Its ok everybody makes mistakes it not so big of a deal since both are good mobos but really depends what color scheme he wants to go with since they are pretty much same but the color is different,unless he really needs those 2 ports

Rating (80+,80+Broze etc...),build quality (capacitors),size,wattage,non modular,semi-modular,modular between yours little the GQ is a Semi-modular i only chose the G2 because its modular so your build would look allot more sweeter and its a little more well built
