You can get an H97 motherboard which will give you an upgrade path to the next-generation Intel chips. Just thinking ahead. Here is a good one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h97manniversary

Here you go. I exchanged the Power supply for a more reliable one, changed the gtx 760 for one that will preform better, and gave you an H97 motherboard. I kept the case for your preference.
