this is gonna be long since i have 2 questions to ask 
First I had few years old pc running i5 2500k cpu
and since it was my first build and i didn't care or know much about temps/voltage at the time i built it it seems i damaged the cpu socket when i did or i had a damaged mobo ... either way long story short is b4 few weeks i noticed the voltage in my 12v rail was ~9 so i checked everything and it was running fine until i checked my cpu and oh well sadly 2 of the pins were bent and touched together causing the problem ...
when i took the cpu out the 2 pins came out as they were attached to the cpu so i guess that leave the mobo dead but they damaged the cpu too

( exactly at the middle u can see the black dot and some burn marks around it )
my question is since the cpu was running for almost 3 years like this .. and is damaged as it show in the pic ... is it still safe to assume that it good to work with new mobo without overclocking or intense usage cause i would like to use it for another build for my brother instead of buying new one
Second thing is now since that pc is pretty much history to me im going for new build
so after spending hours checking parts and prices i came up with this build
cpu: Intel Core i5 4690K
mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI
cooler: CM hyper 212 evo/plus, Scythe Mugen 4 or Arctic Cooling Freezer i30 depend what i can find since im not sure if i could find the hyper 212
gpu: Gigabyte GTX970 G1 GAMING or Gigabyte GTX960 WindForce OC (it will be last min choice depend on the budget tbh since i don't have it all in hand yet but mostly im going with the 970)
psu: corsair GS700 ( from old rig )
ram: G.Skill 2x8GB Ripjaws-X DDR3 1600Mhz ( from old rig )
i will use my old thermal take dokker case for now with 2 intake fans at front and side
hard disk and optical drive is from old rig as well ( too lazy to check them but i don't think they matter that much )
Few notes:
1- im really limited on budget for now so if u can suggest a downgrade to balance an upgrade or suggest replacements with about same price ( if any needed ) it would be great
2- about ssd i know i should get one but now my budget is limited so i might get it as an upgrade later on
3- oh and since it get kinda hot where i live in summer ( ~30-35c ) i really care about temps ( that why i choose GTX over the R9 mostly )
4- i'll use this pc for both work and gaming at home i'll mostly play at 1080 since that what my screen support
5- im planning on over-clocking to ~4.0-4.2 at less or w/e i can get before i reach high temps
6- will any of the coolers be a problem with the ripjaws rams ? cause i read the mugen 4 has very little memory clearance
lastly i appreciate any help and i apologize for my english if there any mistakes or anything not clear ( and im pretty sure there is ^_^ )
