I hate to break your bubble...but i7 4770k + 16GB + 780 = 'high end' gaming PC. :)

On a more serious note, 16GB of DDR3 2133 and an i7 is overkill for gaming with a single GPU. An i5 4670k with good cooling and a moderate overclock, + 8GB of low latency DDR3 1600 or 1866 RAM will be plenty.

1. 4770k + Z97 + GTX780 + 16 gigs ram is not a high-end rig? Then my i5 4570 + B85 + GTX760 must be entry-level :)

2. You should only go for Gigabyte's entry level of Z97, an i5 4670k or i5 4690k with 8 gigs of ram is enough for gaming and will save quite a lot of money

Here's an example of a not-so-high-end-but-can-run-max-setting-many-games rig
