Hi! I'm building a new computer, trying to keep it under $3750. I'm using it mostly for gaming (Star Citizen, Crisis 3, Battlefield 4, Guild Wars 2, etc.) and some work (Unreal Engine 4 level editing/processing) and I also want to use a 4K monitor.

This is what I'm planning on building right now. As you can see, I have plenty of money room for changes.
I would like to keep the frame rate for Star Citizen and Crisis 3 above at least 40 fps on the 4K monitor.
Any recommendations and changes are welcome - however, I already purchased the Fractal Design Define R4 (its on the list), 8gbs of RAM in 2 sticks (so that will be a total of 16gbs) and a 1 Tb hard drive. I don't really need the SSD, though.
Thanks!
