Best CPU/GPU combo for under 700?

Exactly what the title states. I'd prefer to stay in the 600 range but I'll most likely settle for something a bit more high-end if it's really worth the investment. Thanks in advance.

Is motherboard included in that $700? You could very easily get any Haswell i5 + GTX970 for under $700. I recommend that.

I'm considering doing a GTX 970 and an i7 4790k which adds up to 650$. Any other suggestions would be ideal, thanks.

I think you'd get more responses if you were more specific. Is motherboard included in that $700? Do you have any parts already?

I'll assume you need a motherboard too.

If you don't need the motherboard for some reason, this is the best you could do under $700
