I have finally decided to push away my q8300, and to build myself a Haswell based system..
.
So after some research I have put together the below system:
CPU: Intel i5 4670k
Mobo: Asus Z87-A
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 4gbX2
Case: Phantom 410
SMPS: Corsair VS550 (550W)
.
Right now I don't have the budget to get a gpu, but ill be getting one in the 1st quarter of 2014.
So please let me know, if any improvisations can be done with the build.

AMD stock fans are not that great. They just get hot, buy a hyper 212 evo and this guy would take care of that. I can't tell you any other good Intel combo because I'm into AMD PC's. My System is running fine with the AMD 6350 with the stock fan and Asrock 970. So that's my recommendation

Thanks for you're reply..
.
I have never done an amd build before..
Can you tell me which amd cpu is good enough to replace the 4670k.?
And can you also suggest a good mobo for overclocking the components..

The 6350 and the 970 extreme 4 is a good combo for its price range. But I just read few review. Many people are telling that amd cpu's overheat. So, I guess i'll stick with the Haswell series.
.
I wanted help to choose the mobo for the 4670k. I have narrowed down to the ASUS Z87-A and ASROCK Z87 Extreme-4.
So please tell me which 1 is better, or if there is any other mobo around this price range.
