Yes it will work fine

You don't need X99 for gaming.
X99 is worthless unless you do real serious editing.
You can get a much cheaper PC for gaming:

And you can go even cheaper than that.

Get gtx 980 sli, get the 8 core processor and go to www.pcpartpicker.com

Thanks guys i really appreciate your help and what motherboard do you recomend then plus thanx for the gtx i didn't want to dual my graphics cards but i seen the performance diffrence

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

Take a look at my answer.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

yea good but i need to be running at 8gb not 4gb plus heres a better case hahaa http://www.msy.com.au/viconline/home/13277--corsair-cc760t-white-graphite-760t-white-window-full-tower-gaming-case-without-psu.html

moey · Oct 22, 2014

oh sorry yea i get it buy 2x970 but the 980 sli has a way better performance review

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

What 4GB? The build I gave you has 8GB of RAM.
The Enthoo Pro is the best case for the money,these is NO better case for that price point or any price point,if we're gonna be honest.
The Enthoo Pro is my personal favourite,but you can go with the 760T,it won't harm you,but it's much more expensive.
If you're going for aesthetics,the 760T is clearly the winner.

sorry lol i didnt mean ram i ment graphics card was 4gb i know u can dual them but in future i would like to have a slot free but since the 980sli graphics card has a better performance than the amd 295x2 i might get the 980 u know what i mean
lol i know but i fell in love with the 760T plus don't mind the price

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

4GB is enough,you do not need 8GB of VRAM,it's overkill even for 4K.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

thats the thing i have a 4k tv so thats the only reason im going to 8gb plus i would like to see how 4k looks in gaming performance

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

I wouldn't game on a TV.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

yea i know i wouldnt either but im redoing my whole room and i dont know if i could fit a monitor lol

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

A 4K monitor is like 2,3 times smaller than a 4K TV.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

im getting an xbox one console im making my room into a gaming room

moey · Oct 22, 2014

lol yea i know ill figure it out anyways back to the 8gb graphic can't get my head past it so im still confused between 980 sli and 295x2

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

I would get GTX 980 SLI,they sometimes give more FPS than the 295x2:

I also don't think that the i5 4690K should bottleneck 2xGTX 980's,but that's nothing overclocking can't fix.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

hahaaa true but i don't like to risk it with over clocking
and yeah thats what i was leading to the 980 sli

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

You can't damage anything and it's fairly easy to do.
But if you don't want to do it,then don't,it won't harm you.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

yea true true but that card isnt made to be over clocked

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

I'm not talking about the card,talking about the 4690K here.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

lol sorry yes the cpu thats what i ment not the card the cpu isnt ment made to be overclocked

LukaBoki · Oct 22, 2014

Why isn't the 4690K made for overclocking?
It's made EXACTLY for that.

moey · Oct 22, 2014

really

i thought most intel cpu werent made for over clocking only amd lol i guess my mistake
