Here is my build so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dkTHqs
Can't change the RAM because I have already purchased it.
Should I maybe go i7 4790k or just stick with the i5 4690k?
I can't decide on a motherboard, I will overclock once I learn how to so a Z97 is what I am looking for. I was using this article to help me out http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mainstream-gaming-z97-motherboard,3824.html What motherboard do you guys recommend and it doesn't necessarily have to be from that article I linked...preferably around the $100-$160 range.
For my GPU I narrowed it down to a R9 290, R9 290x, or a GTX 780...does R9 290 give the same FPS as the 780? Which will give me more FPS/performance overclocked the 290 or 780? Is the 290x worth the extra $50 or more?
Also how does the rest of my build look? I will overclock the CPU so what is a good aftermarket CPU cooler to get up around 4.5 Ghz?
Thanks
