I'm planning on buying a new desktop. I already have a case and 2tb Hard drive.
Those 2 motherboards are on a "combo" from microcenter both at the same price with the processor (i7 4790k). Wich one should I choose?


I will play league of legends and stream it.

Will no overclock ( maybe later) and wil leave stock fan for now.
I will get an evga supernova G2 1000W psu or a Corsair RM Series 1000 Watt
Wich one is better?
In a month will have money for a gtx 970
Maybe could add another in a year.

Cpu: i7 4790k
Motherboard:MSI Z97-Gaming 5 or Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 7. HELP!!!!
Ram: No idea here, something fast 1866 or 1600? HELP!!!!
GPU: will be a GTX 970, will add another later on.
Need help on those two motherboards, maybe the PSU and RAM thank you.

For the motherboard ive always like Gigabyte and its a great board so id say the gigabyte forsure.

As for ram id choose this because i have it personally and i like it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104448&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Desktop+Memory-_-N82E16820104448&gclid=CMO2w7GO6MMCFUMV7Aodt04Ayg&gclsrc=aw.ds

For a PSU i wouldnt get a corsair and you definiely dont need a 1000W PSU a good 750 or 850W would do just fine. EVGA is good and also Seasonic.

Why is everyone recomending 8gb in 2x4gb?
I was planning on buying 1 ram of 8 gb, then purchase a another next month for a total of 16gb.

Thank you for answering, but can it be done like that? next month I will have more money to buy more pieces.
Can I buy 1 8gb ram then purchase another?. It will be slower but as long as it works is fine by me. Next month will have enough cash to buy a gtx970 an more ram.
