You basically chose the best you can get. If you can get the i7, then I would go ahead and get that over the i5 4690k. If you think you are going to get into overclocking, you don't need that board. you can save money and get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?gclid=CPLVl5nV5r8CFQGNaQod8JAAmA&Item=N82E16813132118&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Intel+Motherboards-_-N82E16813132118&ef_id=U8SjNwAABQ39hT3T:20140727234000:s and be perfectly fine.

Also, you don't need that much PSU power. I would save money and get a 650w PSU unless you plan on having two graphics cards eventually.

UPDATE: I meant you don't need that motherboard unless you are really going to get into overclocking.
