First time gaming build...

[mrnapkins]

Hello, I want to build a gaming PC and it is also my first time doing it so I would like some feedback on the build I made and you can see the parts right here http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mrnapkins/saved/4ojD

Please keep in mind my budget is $3000, but I would like to save money and not needlessly spend on useless extra performance and would like the best bang for the buck. Thank you.

I think you will need more horsepower for 4k gaming, and I would stick with LGA1150 for gaming:
