Was looking at a computer build

Unless you're planning on gaming in 4K, I think the current (and even the last few) generation of tech is more than you'll need for years to come. My 980 and i7-4790 still demolish all games on max graphical settings at 2560x1440. Nothing will bottleneck you until 4K, and maybe to a lesser extent VR (although every VR game I've played is kinda crap).

If you just want to buy the bleeding edge, I suppose that's a different story.
