Hi, thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.

I've found two motherboards, would either of these be good enough/compatible?

Thanks.

Just to make 100% sure, if I add the parts that you recommended (i5-4690k, z97-G55, 650w psu) to the rest of my build, will the system be completely compatible?
