Hello, just wondering if this PC build is good and also if it is futureproofed, there is no cpu as i'm waiting for the new broadwells to be released, unless there is no reason to.

X99 chipset releases in September along with DDR4.. Also there's a rumor at least one more high end gtx card will release before Xmas.
I'd wait and just keep saving.

Just buy now :p 

ddr4 isn't going to be that amazing upon release and it certainly isn't going to be anywhere near the price point where people will be wanting to buy it.

Your build now will be no less "future proof" than a new one 6 months from now. If you wait until october/november, someone else will come along and say "wait for the XXX that comes out in april" . That's how technology is, seems to never stop :p 

Futureproofing is really just a way for you to spend more money now for something that may or may not be useful in the future. Just my opinion. :)

Yes, it is a good high end computer build list , but it is lacking a CPU.

X99 and ddr4 are so close and yes you are right there will always be something newer coming along shortly but I do think DDR4 is quite a big deal and worth the wait of a few months.

It isn't. The DDR3 is fast to the point now that it is nearly irrelevant. No one is going to be able to tell a speed increase from DDR3.
