hi guys,
i am making my first pc build, basically for SolidWorks. I have spent a lot of time thinking which socket to choose - 2011 or 1150 - & finally i have decided to go with 1150.
So, my build:

GPU - K600/V4900 or used K2000
DVD RW SATA 22X INT BULK/BLACK IHAS122-14 LITEON
Crucial Ballistix sport 2x8GB 1600MHz DDR3 CL9 UDIMM 1.5V
PSU Corsair CX 750W, 80 Plus Bronze, 120mm
SSD Samsung 840 Evo Basic 250GB SATA3, 540/520MBs, 7mm
Intel Core i7-4790K, Quad Core, 4.00GHz, 8MB, LGA1150, 22nm, 84W, VGA, BOX
Corsair Obsidian Series™ 450D High Airflow Mid-Tower Case

As you can see there is no mobo. i need your help on that. i am thinking about z97. what would you suggest? & what do you think about other components?

tx in advance.

The variations in Z97 motherboards will only affect performance if you are overclocked . And only then because some board will have power circuitry and heat sinks to let you get higher clocks
Obviously some add features too , but most times those features are of limited use to most people , and would be of zero use to a machine you use as a work station . You will need to be sure the things you pay for are useful

Having said that you can get everything you need in the $120 - 150 range . Paying more will get you bling and not much more .

The ROG boards are good .Lots of power phases and excellent heatsinks would make it a beastly over clocker .
Having an M2 socket on the board could be a huge advantage if you are going to use an M2...

Asus and Gigabyte are the top two choices for quality .

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97a

If you do not plan to overclock the processor then you should save some money and buy an i7-4790 and a motherboard with an H97 chipset . Performance and mb features are the same [ except for support for multiple graphics cards ]

The power requirements of your graphics cards are 41 watt and 75 watt respectively

Your build can easily be powered with a 400 watt psu . But opt for a higher quality 500 watt gold unit for long term stability and low noise

Having an M2 socket on the board could be a huge advantage if you are going to use an M2 hard drive . They are 2-3 times faster than a conventional SSD connected via SATA .
But then the Z97A I linked earlier has an M2 socket as well and should give you OC's almost as high . Probably as high as you would wish to go if you value system stability above all else

so, finally i decided to go with this setup. what do you think guys?

GPU used K2000
ASUS Z97-A, Z97, DualDDR3-1600, SATA3, RAID, HDMI, DVI, D-Sub, DP, ATX
Intel Core i7-4790K, Quad Core, 4.00GHz, 8MB, LGA1150, 22nm, 84W, VGA, BOX
Crucial Ballistix sport 2x8GB 1600MHz DDR3 CL9 UDIMM 1.5V
PSU Corsair CX 750W, Modulinis, 80 Plus Bronze, 120mm
SSD Samsung 840 Evo Basic 250GB SATA3, 540/520MBs, 7mm
Corsair Obsidian Series™ 450D High Airflow Mid-Tower Case

& just to by sure, do you think it is worth to go with 2011 socket, 6 cores & ddr4 for additional +200 euros?
