I would recommend a Z97 motherboard for the I5 4690K CPU. I would recommend an upgrade to a minimum of CL9 1866 RAM (2133 or 2400 is better for a similar cost. I like G skill RAM

I would also recommend a Seasonic, XFX, OR EVGA 650 watt power supply.
Also make sure that it is Haswell certified and modular.
