If you are not planning to overclock, get the 4690 (without the K) and stick with the same motherboard and save some money. If you are planning to overclock, the i5 4690k would be perfect, but you should get a better mobo with the z97 chipset. The B85 isn't really good for overclocking. I would reccomend getting an SSD as it really speeds up overall performance and makes your PC a lot faster. Also, get dual channel memory (2 x 4) for better ram speeds. The rest of the parts seem great!

i will only be playing dayz and minecraft as far as i can see and am a complete pc noob so overcloking wont be happening as i dont no what it is really, but am still looking for as high settings as possibly without needing to upgrade untill i get my pc and learn a lot more about them so if i get the 4690 and a SSD will i b safe to play them on high or extreme settings, thanks for the help aswell took me ages to put this together as i have no idea about gaming pc's at all.

Oh ok. If you want to play really demanding games, like Battlefield or Crysis, you should stick with the GTX 770. If you are only ever going to play minecraft and dayz you should get a cheaper, less powerful card. Keep in mind that since you will have a new gaming PC, you would probably want to play demanding games anyways.

ya thats true i will probably end up trying more games than i am expecting now,so i will keep the gtx 770 just to be sure, and also it all fits into my 1000 euro budget nicely, also i changed up for a 250gb samsung 840 evo SSD and switched to the normal i5-4690 so would you say thats all i need now and can finally order? also thanks for all your help, made things a whole hell of a lot easier for me....also i switched to 2x4gb corsair ballistic memory
