The Hero is not worth the money, Look to the z97 OC Fromula

Arguable the best board in the platform

The Reference GPU's will work, but weak nVidia reference power ultimantly

Look at the Classy's, Matrix or AMP cards

The eVGA G2 850 or 1K will work for power , if you plan on really pounding on it go 1K

you can back down to 8GB of RAM for gaming, I also would get off the 3K, look at some 2400 to 2600 two sided stuff, it will out preform the single sided dimm's

3D is cool, but doubt you will get your money's worth out of it, great monitor, but you may consider a 4K screen as well , not 3D, but 100% more pixels ?

the 540 by Corsair and the CM Glacier 240 are both worth a peek

best of luck with your new build
