I'm planning on building a computer within the next 2-3 months and I'm curious is this is a decent, compatible build. If there's anything that is not compatible, I would appreciate it if you could point out why and link me to something that is compatible for future reference.

Ah ok then it is a very good system. Future SLI answered a few of the questions I had like the 4GB 770 and 850w psu.

A few things I will add

1. You can save a LOT of money by not limiting yourself to one or two retailers. Try partpicker to help with choosing your parts.

2. While you were right to go with the 4GB 770, they are not a very good value. You can get a 4GB 290 for the same price that will smoke the 770.

3. The i7 4790k should be out very soon and it has a stock turbo speed of 4.4ghz and should have much greater overclocking potential than the 4770k.

4. That is a very good psu, but I think you can probably find one just as good for a lot cheaper from Antec, XFX, or SeaSonic. It's worth a look.

Plan on doing max quality gaming, future SLI with the 770. Plan on moving up to 1440p once I can support it with a steady 50-60fps. And no it does not.

If i were you, i would get the X99 chipset motherboard which supports DDR4 , as you are saying you will get it after 2-3 months.
And yes Intel ensures the release of X99 boards with DDR4 memory.
I would not spend that much amount so instinctively if i were you.

1. Definitely will do that.

2. Alright, so I should go with the 4GB version?

3. Is there a release date? It could be anywhere from 2 weeks, to 3 months to get my system. I may just have to wait for that CPU if it's near the price range of the 4770k.

4. Could you recommend me one? :)

Thanks for all the help!
