not entirely sure what you mean.
Do you have a motherboard, that has a maximum allowable ram of 32gb (4 x 8gbs)?
Given that 8gbs is plenty for gaming, 16gb is plenty for standard video/photo editing, and 32 gb for high end multitasking. I think 32gb will do fine for a few years. But requirements are always changing, and it mightn't be too long before 32gb is the standard! But can't see it being anytime soon.

yeah, I agree. any x79 based mobo is a good bet. Whichever is cheapest, and most readily available.

see my previous post. whichever is cheapest and most readily available.
They are all nearly identical with tiny differences in performance.
have a look at this article, it may help you decide:

cheers
thanks I will go through it,
but do you know what bothering me ? the technology is moving very fast, and I want to build a gaming PC for long period of time without thinking every day what should I upgrade. but you know the consequences are money, my maximum price I have is 3000$ and I believe it is overkill for gaming purposes !!

haha, yeah, 'Future proofing' eh? Listen, that's a fallacy! You can spend a lot of money trying to future proof, but within 6 months there will always be something better around the corner (technically speaking). Future proofing is really not something that can be done.
Any 2nd, 3rd, 4th gen Intel Proc and mobo combination will be sufficient for any game you throw at it. Whether it's something like an I5 2500k/P67 type combo, or an i5 3570k/z77 or an i5 4570k/z87, they are all powerfull enough to run any game now, or task that you throw at it. With 3k you could get a damn fine rig, but you could get almost 95% of the gaming performance with a spend of 1500+. It's all relative. Just depends on what your real needs are, and if you want the best for bragging rights.
Socket 2011 though is the most expensive setup of them all though, and even now those mobos cost a fortune, because they are the best for that socket.
Any decent I5 with a K at the end whther its 2nd,3rd,4th Gen Intel will serve you well.
