I really dont need much storage and it was a mistake 2 monitor i was trying to chose between :) and 1x8gb 1866 leaves future 16gb is it not? Thanks for th advise i will switch cpu to 4790k in 4-5 months with buying cpu cooler 4460 make me survive with gtx970?
 
why not go with the cheapest parts from both i5 builds. change i5 to one that you can OC in the future = $944 with acer monitor

4690k
ASrock
kingston 8gb
sandisk 128ssd
290x
cooler elite 120
antec 750
acer - spend a little more for 144hz

then in the future you can get a aftermarket cooler and OC the CPU a bit. besides that you will def need a 1 or 2tb hard drive for game installs/file storage.

GTA V and Far Cry 4 alone take up 100Gb's of space (i have them installed on a secondary NON OS 128gb SSD) which is really 120GB or so. so i only have 20GB's left on my game install SSD.
