Hey all, I'm not familiar too much with building my own PC. I understand about GPU's and processors, but I have no idea what makes for a 'good' motherboard, or RAM, the case I would need, etc.

I do want the 980 (not sure if there are diff. versions, but I want the best one)

For the processor I want the i7-4790K because I'm thinking about streaming on Twitch.

Any help would be appreciated if you could point me in the right direction for a good build.
