I was watching a stream and was looking into the specs.

Intel Core i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
2x 4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING Motherboard

I asked the guy a question and he replied "everything is working fine".
Is it just me or is there a problem with the socket. CPU = LGA1150 & MB = LGA1151. Can anyone back me up on this.
 
Solution
You cant use a socket 1150 cpu on a 1151 board and vice versa. You should either get the 6700k to go with the z170 board or a Z97 board to go with the 4790k.
