Here's a better system for roughly the same cost. Switched you to a Air cooler, gave you 16GB of faster RAM and put in a PSU thats as good but cheaper. You also could probably get a cheaper Motherboard but Ill leave that to you.

has a couple of issues. the RAM will choke the k series CPU, and there is only one stick. the case is pretty but crazy expensive and it will make the PC perform no faster. The funds the case cleared up pays for twice the RAM at a much higher speed so overclocking is now on the table. the SSD I changed to a model that plugs into the motherboard, fewer cables to run that is just as fast as the evo.

Since you are gonna be playing in a 4k TV, that means no 144hz, just 60hz.
