They are all going to be happy and that cooler wil fit in that case.

I have the 4690K and love it. My concern is why this list?

For the same amount of money you could get a more powerful 1151 Skylake build with a 6700K instead of the 4790K.

Recently asnwered a question. Is this an upgrade question or a build question?

A 1TB drive for everything that isn't critical to your daily enjoyment. With some games exceeding 50GB a 250GB drive may not be big enough to hold your gaming library.

Games will load quicker when loaded onto your SSD. Information is also sent and received quicker so hitching"Google it" in games, that can result in micro-stutters goes away. Some just delete games they have beaten, brought to 100% completion or simply got bored with. http://lifehacker.com/how-to-move-a-pc-game-to-another-hard-drive-without-re-1714706774 (option 2) allows Origin and Steam games to be rotated to a storage drive. An extra drive is also very handy for back ups.

Also I'm being told I should change the video card because it might not be compatible with the intel processor and that I should get a GeForce gta 970 or 1070. Is this true or am I fine?

They are 100% incorrect .

The 1070 would offer a significant boost in performance but also about $100 more. You'd be on the top end of gaming with that beast of a card. It's not a TitanX(Pascal) but it's powerful .

The same people would be concerned about GGDR5 memory not being compatible with the board's DDR4 memory. They've nothing to do with each other. Well they are of course part of the same PC but the GDDR5 memory is dedicated to the GFX card. The system uses it's own memory.

I've seen that one more often recently. VERY good cooling and good power. What does this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzy7nC5CeZc comparison suggest? One way to find out.

If you have the extra money I would go for the 1070. If not, I'd stick with the 480.
