I'm planning on building a new computer when I save up the cash needed, and I am currently trying to pick the parts I need. I want it to be solidly high end, without being unnecessarily expensive, so I'll go for DDR4 ram. I do not know what kind of motherboard that supports DDR4 though, and what kind of CPU will fit into it, so I came here for suggestions on what motherboard and CPU I should use.
Also, since there is a seperate category for mobo's and cpu's, should I post about the CPU thing where it belongs?

Thanks in advance,
Nichlas
