First you will want a 4K panel that supports 60Hz properly, there still aren't that many of them out there. (with the exception of the upcoming ASUS panel that is 4K + 144Hz)
Secondly, if you are yearning for a new build, don't go 4790k... Purely my opinion, but if you are going to throw down the money to upgrade anyway, just go Skylake with appropriate components.
Third, MSI vs Gigabyte? Who told you MSI was "better for gaming"? I use and love MSI products, but there is no "better for gaming" when it comes to motherboards. As far as the 2 companies go, just from what I've heard on various forums, Gigabyte seems to be far better with customer service/RMA experience whereas MSI seemingly comes up similar to ASUS in a 50/50 chance of getting everything sorted properly and in a timely fashion. No idea how true that is, but purely what I've found when doing my own research (particularly in relation to vid cards, but still gives an idea regardless).
I have a Sony XBR 900B tv 65". It supports uhd and dci 4K. I wonder if it truly supports 4K @ 60hz.

I have a Sony XBR 900B it supports dci and uhd 4K. I have to find out if it supports 60hz at this resolution.
I was thinking the same thing processor wise. I could clock it to 4.5 ghz and get 3000 ddr4 ram with the 980gtx Ti.
