Admirable
This is what I would do for that money and unless you are overclocking, you don't need a k series processor or a z series motherboard

that is a big case for u.u should be fine with a 200R/300R- ur choice.u'll save around 75$.
Also can i suggest a r9-280x instead of 760.it's better & that 75$ can be spend here.
