Sure can, I changed to 850w G2 it's only $10 difference if you ever wanna do some heavy OC, you'll have about 300w spare to OC.

Here you go then with 4790k. You can add another GPU if you wish. What are you using it for, if it's solely gaming, I don't really see the point of i7, but if that's your preference, then of course it's your choice :) Also, do you need a monitor?

I just dont see the advantage of the I7-5930k over the 4790k I've looked at a lot of reviews and such and no one seems to think it makes a noticeable difference...am i missing something i mean i know the obvious on paper advantages but real world does it really perform in the gaming world
 
That is good but can i change ssd storage to 500 gb and use another gpu gtx 980 crossfire.Will it run with 750w or is any upgrase required to power supply..
 


He did say "monster", so it is a monster :)
 
Well, if budget isn't a problem, a $2k build is about the best for the cost. Really any higher and you're simply wasting money. The 2011 socket offers zero gaming benefit over the 1150 socket. If you're building a gaming PC, you'd simply be burning money for zero improvements. Monster or not, there's no reason to simply waste money.

With 970 SLI, you would want to buy a 1440 monitor.
 


If it has what you want, then go for it, just read some reviews first to see if it is good. I don't know much about these kind of routers, so I can't exactly tell you much about what I think.
