Tell us your budget and we will make you one

You do need a GPU for gaming, it's the most important part

Kingston memory is good, around 8gb

This is very confusing, first off you're saying you don't have enough money but you're considering an x79 platform build? If you need help putting a parts list together please read this topic first:

We could use a lot more info, such as budget, usage, location etc. etc.

First sentence " Hello, I'm trying to build a gaming PC" What good is a PC that is intended to play games without any dedicated graphics?

YES! Of course you need a GPU for your gaming build, If you're going to be spending that much on a motherboard/CPU.

A i5 4670K performs almost like a 4770K but without the no hyper-threaded cores. Spend more on your GPU

Ok thaks you all. Now i should take an i7 4770k and the vi formula. What about graphics card??

give us a budget and what country you are in. right nmow ur spending alot of money on something that isnt worth the money. 2770k is an overkill and VI formula is an overkill.

give us a budget please

You do know the vi black edition depending on your location costs like $600 au alone.... and the maximus vi formula plus i7 4770k costs like 700 - 800 together. All that stuff is way over your budget from the looks of it.

In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only a GTX 1080, just a single 1080, where my glorious PC once stood....

For that is all I need, For the Emperor of Man, Jen-Hsun Huang, protects. We march for Nvidia, and we shall know no fear!

Ignore the Core i7-4930K and 4770K, bloody good chips but if you don't have enough money then they don't belong on the list and that goes for the motherboard, you can get a decent board for less with the normal Asus line and from Gigabyte and my personal favourite MSI.

 

For the GPU I would personally look at the GeForce GTX 760 or <insert AMD equivilent> and you should be set, one more thing I've noticed is that you haven't listed a PSU?

get the i5 and a cheaper z87 mobo. unless you're doing serious overclocking or need the extra features, you're just wasting money for a tiny improvement.

you need a GPU if you're gaming though, so dont even think of using intel "HD" graphics

My region is Cyprus. I need a pc that can play anything without any problems. The vi formula for me is the best z87 motherboard thats why i am going with this. With the processor i will go with an  i7 or i5. Now i have the money as i told you the i7 know is cheap on amazon now. But in the future when the sales are over i will have to go with the i5?. For a graphics card i had fxed one the asus MARS maybe but for now is it good

Tell me a good GPU

Not 100$ sure on the wattage you'll need but for the PSU I'd recommend anything from SeaSonic, for the motherboard have a look at the Gaming lines from MSI, but also have a look at Asus and Gigabyte.

 

Those ROG boards are nice but they are a waste of time if you are on a budget, for the RAM I'd have a look at Corsair.
