Hi Guys/Gals

I'm avid console gamer. Looking to make the switch over to PC 4k Gaming. Wife hooked it up with a 4k monitor. I'm looking for build advice on parts to build the ultimate 4k gaming rig. All the help will be greatly appreciated. I know it will cost some money, but that's not an issue right now. I'm looking for something can last me a while. Again I wouldn't be asking for help if I haven't been out of the PC gaming world forever.

Things I want to achieve from this build
- 4K gaming
- Photo/Video Editing

Most of the stuff are interchangeable with other brands if you like if you are going for certain color schemes.

The case is also a major personal preference, personally I like the look of this case and its at a good price too.

You can also go for the i7 5930k / 5820k if you want a 6 core CPU along with an X99 MOBO
