2300 USD will get you a really powerful PC. Would reccomend getting a high resolution monitor for that. Otherwise it won't be able to perform at its full potential. (1000 USD is plenty for 1080p) If you want to play in 4k, I would reccomend the R9 295x2 graphics card. AMD have designed that one specifically for 4k and is definately cheaper than nvidia's equivalent. I don't think you can get it in black and red though, only silver and red. It might push your budget a little as well as it is 1500 USD alone. You can hold back and wait for the next generation of GPUs. They will definately be better optimized for 4k and monitors will be cheaper as well. Your choice.

A 3930K and 32GB of RAM will go unused on a gaming rig. Just about the only benefit of X79 for gaming is the use of dedicated PCI lanes on an SLI configuration. But it's still not worth the investment as you won't get back what you paid for in terms of performance. Plus why include expensive things you don't need like UPS in your budget? The budget should consist of the tower and tower only - only peripherals should be monitor, keyboard and mouse.
Here's what you do for $2300 (assuming no monitor is needed) :

Guys he wanted a 4970k and a Phantom 630 xD I think 2x780 Ti is better than 1x295x2, but this one is only 150$ more, so if you want a 295x2 put 150$ and my build would work properly. As someone said before, I think the best bet here is not x79, for gaming you can get a cheaper build with same potential, or in this case, better GPU for the same budget!

Anything with a K processor can be overclocked and I definitely recommend that for gaming as opposed to getting a Xeon or locked processor. I generally don't build around color schemes but if you want to I can change it around.

You're not getting a 4970X and Radeon R9-295 on a $2300 budget, the motherboard, CPU, and RAM alone on a build like that would be well over $1700 (4970X = $999, Asrock X79 Extreme 11 = $399, 32GB of G.Skill Ripjaw X = $449), that doesn't leave you much room for anything else.

He said 4790k, which is the devils canyon i7 which costs 330$, or the same as the i7 4770k.

Wait are you talking about the new i7s and i5s that are about to be released and not the 4970X? They're just a refresh of the CPU that's currently out now and aren't going to offer much variation in terms of performance.

There isn't even any 4970x, its the 4960x what your thinking about. And yes, we are talking about the i7 and i5 refresh processors and are said to give around 10% performance increase. However, we will not know till the benchmarks come out.

ya i meant the i5 4690k the devils canyon the one thats about to be released sorry for the mistake guysOK yeah that would make a lot more sense then. I was gonna say you could definitely not afford a 4970X, R9-295 and 32GB of RAM on a $2300 budget.
also is amd good for gaming and is there a high end build i could look at?
With that budget, no. Amd is great for budget builds with like 600-800$. Intel is much better for gaming if you have the money which you do.
