Since you are getting an Intel "k" series cpu, you want to get a Z77 motherboard (allows overclocking). If you don't plan on overclocking, then there is little point to getting a "k" series cpu. Don't forget you will need a HDD, memory and PSU along with a keyboard/mouse and monitor if you don't already have those. And you will need an OS (win7/8).

If you want a cpu cooler so you can overclock and are able to go just a little bit over budget the next would be a nice choice,

You could even put the hyper 212 evo in then,

I must honestly say that i think that the gpu from build one should be good for overclocking and could reach the r9 270X levels without problems,but i don't have it so can't check that to make sure.It's really just my personal opinion.
In practice physically it's already is a r9 270X considering it needs two peg connectors instead of one which are for the power.How far it will get is the question.
It's about taking a chance for less money.You could loose as well.If you want to be safe you go with the r9 270X.

There are a lot of options here for $700,i see so many things that can be done,like the option for crossfire later with a more powerfull psu even within your budget.

You don't need windows? Forgot to ask.
