Gaming & Rendering PC Build

[sahin09]

Hey guys. I am planning to build a custom PC for 3D rendering & Gaming.
Softwares which I work on are: Autodesk Revit, Autocad and 3ds Max.
So far I have been able to pick the below mentioned parts:

CPU: i7 4790k
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z97 HD3
PSU: Corsair RM450
GPU: Zotac GTX 960 4GB
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master 212x
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB
Case: Corsair 400R (Mid tower)

Any suggestions regarding this build will be highly appreciated.
TIA

Seems quite solid build all in all.
The only thing that might be helpful, is SSD.

8gb of ram will suffice, but you would certainly benefit from 16gb (even 32... believe me) especially if you deal with large scenes and complex assembly.
The rest looks good to me.

Gaming and rendering wise with a hefty OC you should be pumping fairly close to the i7 with a better graphics card pumping better gaming performance, sacrifice a little gain a lot?

Thanks everyone.
I was wondering whether I can save a few bucks on the motherboard?
Are there any cheaper but good options available?

for intel the Gigabyte Z97X SLI is your best bet, for AMD the MSI 970 is probably your best bet!

I am not looking to overclock the cpu. Just buying the 4790k for the higher clock speed.
Which mobo would you suggest? I was looking at Asrock H97 Killer.
I am trying to save money on the mobo and maybe get a better GPU.
