https://pcpartpicker.com/list/r9s9XH That's going to be my build, but I was wondering if there was anything I could switch out to get a better performance overall, and possibly get a theme going with the pc. Also im looking for a 500 watt fully modular powersupply

-edit- forget the theme, my case doesn't have a side panel-

CPU - i7-4790k

GPU - MSI 980 Ti 

Mobo - MSI Z97 Gaming 5

Memory - 32 GB DDR3

get a locked i7 rather than a unlocked i5 

wait for ryzen benchmarks 

get a rx480 rather than a 1060 

what i7 would you recommend, because I don't think i'll be overclocking anything in this build.

Also I thought ryzen wasn't for budgest builds. I heard it was only if I ever decided to upgrade my main build

i7 7700 but it won't be a good upgrade from a 4790, i suggest you look at ryzen or x99. 

Yea ill most likely be upgrading to one of those in the future. But for this build, what would you recommend for a locked cpu?

yup if you are not overclocking locked is the way to go, you also can save money by not going z270. if you can wait another week, i think it will be worth it.
