I have a similar setup:-

  - Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 LGA1150 Micro ATX Motherboard
  - Intel 4th Gen Core i5 4670S 3.1GHz 65W HD4600 6MB Quad Core CPU
  - Crucial Standard 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz CL11 DDR3 Memory

and there is no hesitation at all, in fact I could do with it being a 
little slower so I can keep up :-)
