My colleague hooked me up with a 4790k chip for good price so I decided to put together a build for my brother in law with it, and retire his PC to email/surfing/general use in our living room.
I'm not really familar with the haswell refresh line up so if there's anything I could change or should know about please inform me. ATM all I keep hearing is sata express yet the SSD market still looks the same, atleast from my eyes.
I also need help with MOBO picking, with my 2 x79 machines I stayed with Asus as they seem to know what to do, and alot of features included but I think I don't even use them all.

ATM I have this build for him, what would I miss if I went down to the ASUS z97 pro, or jump to another brand. He'll be using a 2560 × 1440 display probably 4k within 2months or so. Don't really need ultra settings on games. Does this build look ok? Maybe I can trim some money somewhere? He needs windows 8 pro tho. thx
