wow woow wow, hold your horses.

Tell me your expectations and what is it that you usually do on your pc? i guess it's meant for gaming. What are your $$$ limits? Any other relative info that might influence your selection?

That motherboard really doesn't match up with the CPU. Z97, or H97, as a minimum to ensure out of the box compatibility. Ideally Z97 so that you can take advantage of the powerful CPU cooler to overclock. H81 will not let you do that.

An argument could be made to drop down to an i5-4690k (or upgrade to an i5-6600k) and spend more on the GPU if this is for gaming.

These days it is criminal to not put money into an SSD as well.

ASUS monitor supports GSYNC and is not 1440p ! this is a waste of money if you're going with Radeon. No point for 390x when 390 is 70$ cheaper.
also. The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled.
