About RAM: I can't say. I bought mine in 2010 with 4GB, upgraded to 8GB two years later. I am a developer and a heavy VM user (2-3 Vagrant machines simultaneously or Win8.1 + Ubuntu in GUI, with other apps opened, like Atom, Skype, Twitter).

I said you don't need 4690k or 4790k (unlocked CPUs, with K index) because you'll need Z97 motherboard to overclock. Locked i7-4790 is an option but I don't see a point. 4690/Xeon will handle games like champ.

Depends on your usage but at least it won't be worse.
