The asrock z97 extreme 4 and the i5 4690k at $300 is a killer deal, but with a 500-600 budget for the entire pc, your best bet would be a i3 and a cheaper motherboard.
the asrock extreme 4 is typically the common budget motherboard recomendation. I feel like the ASUS pro one would be the best with its features and wifi but its really up to you to go through and compare to see which one has the features you want
What is the purpose of this pc?
What is your budget?
Mostly general purpose like browsing, streaming, etc but I'd also like to have some gaming and video/photo editing capability. Hoping for it to be somewhat future-proof, overclockable and reliable.
