Which one would be better for my gaming PC i5 4690k or i7 4770k? Maybe sometimes I'll use it for rendering videos.
For the MoBo which would be better? ASRock Z97M OC or Asus z97m plus? (BitFenix Phenom M chassis)
And last the GPU R9 280x or GTX 760?
any comments or suggestions? Thanks guys and God bless.

If you have the money definitely an i7 4770k or an i7 4790k. If you have to compromise your videocard to buy and i7 instead of an i5, then get the i5 and a good videocard. The r9 280x is better than gtx 760.

In gaming you will not notice any big difference between the i5 and the i7. Maximum gain of maybe 5 fps. And that just isn't worth the 100 dollars you pay extra. However if you are into serious video rendering, 3d rendering, multitasking the i7 4790k is a great cpu. Both the mobo's are great. That said I would choose ASUS.

Thanks! Yeah I"m actually on a tight budget so I'll just probably buy i5 4690k I'm not really into hardcore rendering. I just want something that would last for a few years.
