Help with First Build!
Hello all,
I am hopefully going to start my first full build soon and would like some input. I would like this computer to be able to run most modern games at max or close-to max settings however the most important requirement is that this build will be future proof. I don't want to have to throw this away in two years, but rather continue to upgrade parts. To achieve this I obviously need the newest core components (Namely the mobo??) and am willing to pay a little premium for that. The build is as follows: (Plus a GTX 750Ti OC I already have)

(and a list if you don't want to click that )
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz
CPU Cooler : Stock
Motherboard: Asus Z97-A ATX LGA1150
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133
Graphics Card: PNY Nvidia GTX 750Ti OC 2Gb
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB
Western: Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite (Black) ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply: Corsair 600W ATX12V
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer
My main questions are:
1. How future-proof is this? Anything I should change to make it more "Future-proof"
2. Keeping basically the same budget, are their any superior parts for that price?
3. What will the gaming capabilities of this be?
4. Any other suggestions, compatibility issues, general comments?
Thank you so much!
