For gaming, this build will be better:
It will play every game on max settings (including poorly coded games such as Watch Dogs & Crysis)

no not unity anyway i'd go for 2 even for 1440p. They can only just about do 4k. If the 4790k is only such a small amount more then I would go for it, wont ipact gaming much but if you want to stream or edit video's things will go hell of a lot smoother.

I'd drop the sound card, expensive motherboard and put more into your primary SSD - get a Samsung 850 Pro instead.

I'd do something like this for your budget:
