I forgot to mention that I will need it more for work than games . Work like 3d rendering, modeling, photoshop etc. Will handle these good ?
The ram wouldn't it be better to be 16 g? And is it possible to use a bigger case ?

thanks for the quick reply!

edit: I dont have a problem of raising the budget a little bit.

Sure! These were just suggestions to keep it under $1200. The 970 should fly through pretty much everything, and the 4790K is a beast as well. If you want Xeon and Quadro, be prepared to spend over $2000. For what you're saying, these parts should handle pretty much everything with ease. 16 GB of RAM wouldn't hurt either it will just add another $80 to the price.

Nice, I like that. One last question, should I add fans to this build? or it will manage?
In case of overclocking I mean.

I know I am getting annoying but I have to ask some more :) It is the first time I try to build a PC.

Can you tell me the difference between the Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 Micro ATX and the normal ATX?
except the size and that it needs a bigger case.
