The P world changes so fast that picking out components to day is like asking which 2017 car model you should select.

You need to supply a budget.... we can't tell you what your budget is .... what I consider acceptable performance is likely different from yours.

If you were buying this year (before Dec 31)

I picked a 4790k over the 4690k because you were NOT overclocking and it provides an extra 0.5 Ghz which will give you some extra longevity ... if ya change ya mind, an 4690k w/ decent cooler will do better than a stock 4790k in gaming and save ya some dough.

The SSHD is a combo SSD + HD ... you won't miss an SSD.

The GFX card is best bang for the buck and should easily keep ya happy for 3+ years .... if not PSU will allow a 2nd one.
