I'm looking for suggested parts list for a $2500+\- gaming/recording pc.. I want a beast that can run any and every game maxed out with high fps including 4K.. I don't want to worry about upgrades because lack of performance for a few ears. I've been involved with a few pc builds of friends but never my own and never one this expensive so I'm looking for your knowledge to help me get the most out of my money..

I t has a decent sized SSD for your main programs and games, as well as an additional 2 TB storage drive, and a speedy drive at that. If you do not care about looks, you can change the case out for something else to save a little cash. If you need a larger SSD, upgrade the one I selected.
Also, if you need an optical drive, you will need to get an external one. There's no way to install one on this case.
That's a beast of a system that should handle anything you throw at it for many years to come. If I were to build myself a new system anytime soon, that's what I'd build. Plus, it looks awesome!

This probably the best your money can buy right now, though it might be ~200 dollars over your preferred budget. Best in class for overclocking, since you would like to run 4k, there should be plenty of overclocking capability here. It's probably a little overkill, but will definetely bring performance.
You might have to tweak a little if you want the ram to run at 4266Mhz with an overclocked CPU, but the Maximus IX Apex is specifically made to run super-duper high speed memory (hence only 2 memory slots), i suggest you take a look at the OC3D review of that motherboard, in case you should be interested.
