^Will play up to 4K/60hz on High/Ultra settings.

Regarding your build its good however you'll want to change the motherboard to a H310/B360 or H370 as your not overclocking. As for a case Phanteks makes awesome cases, a nice Mid or Full ATX case would be fine for your build.

I am going the AMD route, for this build. The 2700x's xfr, aka turbo, reaches speeds not much lower than most overclockers hit anyway. You get an 8c/16t beast, that will handle anything you throw at it.
