It's kinda overkill...

Get Corsair H100i or H105 instead of CM hyper evo
and add couple case fan Corsair Air Series AF140 140mm

A nice z97 board with the 4790k is plenty for 4k. You dont need the 6 core processor.

Not overkill at all for 4k. games are so poorly optimized for 4k this might not even max games at 4k.

OP, I recommend a normal i7 4790k and an z97 board.

zeyuanfu :

what components is overkill ?

tiny voices · Aug 24, 2014

None of it besides the CPU are overkill.

GRUxTSAR · Aug 24, 2014

You really don't need a 4930k. Just get a 4690k and a good cooler and OC it to around 4.6Ghz and you'll be fine

tiny voices · Aug 24, 2014

GRUxTSAR :

Actually I recommend a 4790k because at 4k with two 290x's there will be a real difference between an i5 and i7. I agree that the 2011 CPU is not needed though.

For 4k, the dual 290x's will be better than these 780ti's because of the Vram.

ok so I have updated my parts list...here you go

I would change to a 900-1000w PSU for sure. Otherwise looks great.

jay337 · Aug 24, 2014

tiny voices :

done !

Putted a Corsair HX 1050

tiny voices · Aug 24, 2014

Ehh, I recommend an XFX or Seasonic unit. Or a Corsair AX unit.

GRUxTSAR · Aug 24, 2014

tiny voices :

Oh yeah. I forgot the i7 has an advantage if you're running powerful GPUs. 4930Ks are only good for 3x or 4x SLI/Crossfire

gamer1357 · Aug 24, 2014

jay337 :

Try this. A great psu for a great price.

gamer1357 :

my case is max 180 mm and the evga is 200mm

gamer1357 · Aug 24, 2014

jay337 :

Try this. It seems to fit, but double check to make sure.
