New PC need advice on Asus Motherboard and Graphic Card

[eternaly]

Hey guys,
I'm building a new pc with these parts

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-DELUXE ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150
Graphic Card: ASUS Graphics Cards MATRIX-GTX780TI-P-3GD5
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K Processor
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos II
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 1300G2
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 2666MHz
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H105 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
with samsung ssd

I'm not really sure what kind Motherboard and graphic card to get as there are sooooo many different choice (and I'm a noooob on pc building).
So here's the Question
1) As PC gammer (Like to have all setting on High and hv 60+ FPS) which Asus Motherboard should I get? ( don't know how to OC but will learn how, and I do understand some Asus Motherboard come with Easy OC? which is made sample and safe to do)? correct me if im wrong >_>
2) Graphic Card I do see that there are many choice of GTX 780 TI out there (now I had my eyes on EVGA GTX 780 TI classified k ngp n edition) however my friend just strongly suggest I get Asus Graphic Card ( >_>). So....Which Graphic Card should I get?

I won't buy all these parts until mid October so will there be new stuff on market? (I do see there are DDR4 2011 but they seems too expensive atm my budget is 2500-3000

Thanks for your time~

At what resolution will you be playing at? And do you plan on adding more monitors down the road?

If I was in your shoes I would take:
- ROG motherboard: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VII_FORMULAWATCH_DOGS/
- Swiftech H220-X CPU Liquid Cooling Kit: http://www.swiftech.com/H220-X.aspx#tab1
- Corsair Dominator (Forget about Corsair Vengeance): http://www.corsair.com/en/dominator-platinum-with-corsair-link-connector-1-65v-16-gb-dual-channel-dd...
- Asus Swift PG278Q monitor: http://rog.asus.com/349542014/gaming-monitors/video-definitive-overview-of-the-swift-pg278q/

DDR4 doesn't work with this line or any previous line. For DDR4 you have to get new motherboard and new cpu. But don't dispair.
If you say you won't buy all these parts until mid October, then you are lucky, because the new Intel line (X99) is going to be release at the end of August, albeit more expensive.

If you prefer to take the Z97 route, watch this video: http://rog.asus.com/341582014/labels/guides/video-how-to-build-a-gaming-pc-using-rog-z97-hardware/

he did not list DDR4 memory.

And for Memory will only buy 16gb for now , can always add 16g more later if need.

not recommended since you will only ask for problems if doing so.
always get 1 ( one ) kit of the amount of memory you want.
ram speed go for 2133 - 2400mhz to be sure you can get it all stable.
abow 1866/2133mhz you will not notice enny diffrence from day to day use
even take a look at the g-skill ram and see if they can be enny cheaper, the majority of the OC'ers on this forum uses it.

GPU go for a 780TI.

and chino is going to give you a good setup if i know him right.

Definitely get one kit of whatever size you need...don't mix kits. The Vengeance pro is OK but maybe you can find faster CAS kits there is some G.Skill 2600 cas10 about...

The Maximus Vii Formula is hard to beat and at 1920x1080 I'd say an ASUS GTX780 DCuII. The matrix is a bit overkill unless you are LN2 OCing though a very nice card of course... The DCuII even has a bit more OC margin by all accounts and is cheaper...
