I would take avoid the X79 platform, save some money, and go for a Z87/i5 4670k. If you need the extra cores, go for an i7 4770k. Just avoid X79, its performance is terrible for the price, and I will doubt you would its potention.

Card is pretty good, although you would be able to get a second one if you went to an i5 4670k/Z87.

Also, save some money on the PSU, go for a nice AX860 or one of the new V*** series from Cooler Master.

Don't go for a H100i, they aren't that great. Go for something nice, like a Hyper 212 Evo.

Hello, I chose these build around the i7 3930k processor because I just want a powerful computer, Im mostly will use the computer for programing(c++,python etc), web design, web programming - java, php, html etc.. and http server tests and without a doubt will doing some gaming but you left me thinking my friend saving money is always good! So would you elaborate on switching over to the i7 4770K chip
