In a year, there will be all new stuff out. The 3570k is already a generation behind and will 2 generations behind in a year and probably not even sold. Same with the 760, the 800 series will be out in a year and on the cusp of the 900 series.

There might not even be I7's in a year, who knows. Point I was trying to make is you can't plan a build a year away. Stuff changes. DDR4 might be out for the next intel chips by then. Ask again in a year when you are ready to buy and have the money.
