That combo costs about $350. Is that within the budget, or would OP need something cheaper?

You beat me to the punch

I would recommend the 4690K and the Z97-A as well. However, if you don't plan to overclock, then I'd go with the i5-4690 (no "K") and the AsRock H97M Pro4, since that should save you some money.

Yep these guys are spot on and unless you plan on doing heavy video editing or rendering the i5 will serve you well instead of spending unnecessary money on an i7
