Nice CPU. Crappy motherboard. Get a H97 mobo instead

Don't get a SSD. Put the money towards a better graphics card.

Get a better quality power suply - from tiers 1, 2a or 2b of http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

What's your budget? What country?

What's your main purpose and budget?

Terrible motherboard. Never get MSI due to terrible QC.

You could improve the graphics card by removing the SSD. Or get an R9 270 which will be better and at a similar price.

Bad choice of PSU. Try one from tier 1-2. Here's the list to assist you out.

Purpose - light gaming, 3D&2D CAD/CAE, programming.
Due to the http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H87G41_PC_Mate.html#hero-overview quality control shouldn't be a problem as there's pretty high standards for military class electronics (I'm electronics engineer and have worked in manufacturing). But please give any reasonable arguments why this is not good MB (like personal experience, malfunctions etc.). Can't see why I should get H97 chipset MB if I'm never going to upgrade this system to 5th gen CPU's.
SSD is more important for me than better graphics and I like power efficiency of this video card.
Will consider change of PSU.
Budget is under 1000 EUR including Monitor LG 23MP65HQ-P, Win 8.1 and Logitech MK220 desktop (1000 Eur withot VAT) better towards 900 EUR

Hakkinator :

i5 4690 is Haswell Refresh . Its natural chipsets are H97/Z97 . The old mobos with the old H87/Z87/B85 may need BIOS update . Bad experience is MSI 970A-G43 , if the cooling is weak .
