So recently I was looking at Ebay and seen the i7 4790K for 300 Euro including shipping and everything. Everywhere else it was about 50-70 Euro more and I was going to go with the Xeon e3-1231 v3 on Amazon which came out to be 300 euro and only 20 Euro less on Ebay than the i7 that i brought and it is brand new and an unused item so I decided to pick it up.

So im interested in doing alot of gaming and motion graphics so will the CPU serve me well for a very long time ?

You will see a huge increase in performance then :) but Hyper 103 might not be enough .. still I would try it first but if you will struggle (temps above 75 degree on full load) I would upgrade to phanteks ph-tc14pe or some huge water cooling.

Just as reference on ph-tc14pe you should get about 60 degree on full load.
