guys thank you much the input...id have to say,these all look incredible....i couldnt pick one...i am convinced for gaming the 4690k and and asus z97 ar mobo....and as far as a excellent 3 gig video card would be perfect....not sure if goin over 3 gigs on a vid card would be a bottleneck for the chip....prolly not correct me if im wrong....thank you all
