From what it looks, you obviously want to overclock this rig.
and imo, i5 is already enough for gaming, these cpu i think is an overkill even before OC.

8GB is always enough for gaming, unless you going to use for photo/video editting.
and performance RAM doesnt give much boost in your gaming experience

better get  MSI R9 290 best value card so far.

EDIT:
so for video/phoyo editting, i guess these would be an easy work  thumbup.gif
*
r9 290 is better then r9 290x ? or just value better ? how bout the noise lvl ? so i should get value ram ? yes i'm going for photo editting ... i7 is needed as i will be working on few program at the same time ...

gaming when i'm free.. work station for photoshop , ilustrations , and also supporting two screen one is for movie for the kids while the other screen is working on other .. might be surfing , might be gaming , might be working. will be updating the pc next 5 year .. so i need something that last ..

in term of value  laugh.gif , based on the review the noise level is very bad  laugh.gif
value ram would save you a tons of cash, and give pretty much same performance.

if you didn't go for OC you can always get the Xeon processor tho  thumbup.gif
then add a bit for the suggested psu and gpu  thumbup.gif

what's the suggestion on xeon processor ? the price i see is higher right ? xeon e3 1270v3 vs i7 4770k ..

What score this one? Provide some links and source, please.

Edit: Anyway, I googled your "scores" and found that they're reference from Passmark? Those benchmarks are not really accurate. Wait till you see their GPU benchmark. sweat.gif Best you check out proper benchmark websites like Tom's Hardware, Guru3D, Hardwarecanucks and etc.
