I am trying to build a PC that will be able to handle PC games of today and tomorrow...

My question, with a 4790K and corsair cooler H60 would I be able to achieve a turbo clock speed of 4.4ghz with this motherboard(ASUS B85M-G R2.0)?

Looking to get a Asus 970 strix, I don't plan on over clocking CPU but not to excited with only 4ghz boost from the non k 4790. any help is apriciated

it will run at the rated 4.4ghz turbo speed but thats not a mobo to pair with such cpu! also looks like a bios update is also needed before you can run the devils canyon!
