Just to add more.... I'm not a pc gamer but I would like to get into pc gaming and see if it's something that I would like.

I don't keep up with the latest and best when it comes to GPU so does the video card I have good enough?

@demon-returns:

Its a bit mis-matched, a high-end CPU paired with a medium-high end GPU, have you considered a Z97 based rig?

If you're not a PC gamer but you've chosen editors CPU, that means you're some sort of editor or you're just new to PC community?

@demon-returns: Have you gone x99 for any specific reason?

Either you did a mistype here or you don't know about PC's a lot.

If you want a gaming PC, i7-5820K is nice since its costs only $50 more than i7 4790K while having 50% more cores and the advantages of X99 (well not full but you can still do triple SLI at x8 while you cannot do this at Z97 without PLX chip).

But there are other things that cost a lot.

The cheapest motherboard should cost more than $200.

DDR4: DDR4 is much more expensive and in the X99 case you need 4 sticks in order to enable the quad channel. This is were you did the error or you didn't know about it.

With $1288 you can create a more powerfull gaming PC by choosing i5 4690K or i7 4790K and a R9 290 or a GTX780.

Put it simply: (4690K + Z97 + DDR3 + R9 290) > (5820K + X99 + DDR4 + R9 280) in games, and also a bit cheaper
