Is this good for 4K Gaming?

[xmacattackx]

I can't decide whether I should spend more for the CPU and RAM but I think these parts will suffice
I'm going to build a computer by April 2015.

Several things. First, do you plan on overclocking? If yes, you need a better PSU and an unlocked processor. If not, you don't need that fancy MoBo.

Otherwise, this build should be great for 4K. The 970 in SLI can get up to 60 frames in BF4, ultra settings, at 4K.

By April 2015, the build could change.. a lot. (New stuff)

Yes, PC part prices change every month, so if you're not going to build it until next April there may be things you'll want to change.

just a temporary build lol

This has serious issues

PSU with not enough power that is low quality to start with
Overclocking motherboard with locked CPU.

The issue is the only Micro ATX motherboards that support SLI are Z97 models starting at $120.

Could you consider a larger case?

I was not saying to get an h97 board, but instead saying it is pointless NOT to get a 4690k and a cooler at this point unless OP has ZERO intentions of overclocking.

This is all pointless anyway as there is NO point to even plan a build this far in advance.

OP, come back 2 weeks prior to your purchase date.

Like tiny voices said, there really isn't any point in not adding the ability to overclock, thus the K processor and aftermarket fan. The 750W PSU gives you more breathing room for SLI and overclocking. The case is a little bigger, but should be better as far as cooling and space goes.

However, like others have said, prices change all the time, and new items are released. If you can't buy it until April it'd be better to wait until then to make your decision on parts.

There's no point making a list MONTHS before you buy. By then, most of it will be changed.
