i dnt need an i7 the price/performance is not worth it. u can overclocked the i5-K anyway. can reach up to 4.4ghz. plus 8 gb is more than enough for gaming. 16 gb...?? for bragging rights maybe or for potential editing streaming. plus gtx 970 and 980 arent that far 970 can run most of the games very smoothly while the 980 does the same with a little difference. porbably after 2-3 years then we can see how powerful 980, 980ti, titanx are, but right now all the games can be played at max setting with 970.
