Since he lives near a microcenter there CPU/MOBO combos won't be beat by any online retailer that I know of.

Thank you. But I won't be doing hard overclocking, also need a power supply, and a cd drive.

Thank you for your answer. maybe I can just change the CPU and Mobo to microcenter bundle, then do you think it'll be good? (4th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-4670K 3.4GHz LGA 1150 Processor w/ ASRock Z87-Extreme4 ATX LGA 1150 ($294.98))

Yea I wouldn't see an issue with that. Although perhaps in time you can get a aftermarket cooler. You get a way stronger deal with microcenter there stronger board, stronger cpu, stronger solution.
