I'd go for something like this.
-Motherboard is SLI capable for future upgrades. Asrock is amazing for price/performance, it won Tom's Z97 motherboard price/performance tests. See chart below.
-CPU cooler, a basic one, you won't break any OC records with it, but it is probably the most recommended cooler on this site
-PSU, very high quality, and enough watts in case you want to SLI in the future. Made by Seasonic.
-If you KNOW you'll never SLI, you could downgrade the motherboard / PSU and then maybe get an SSD. Personally I'd stay with the above, and add an SSD in the future so that I have the option for SLI at some point." - jimthenagual

Yea so that's within your budget. If you wanted it to be cheaper and you KNEW that you weren't going to OC, then you could downgrade the processor to just the I5 4690. Make sure to get the cheapest optical drive. Other than that you look good to go. That'll take any task you throw at it.

Yeah if you're looking to save a few bucks and like edween said you aren't going to overclock you could drop down to the 4690 and an H97 board. However, since this is within your budget why not get the best performance you can. Also you could for a 650 or 550W PSU (if it's good quality) but the 750 allows the option to SLI in the future.
