I am going to be purchasing the Intel i7-4790k Quad-Core. I don't want to spend over $200 on the graphics card but plan on streaming games like League of Legends and H1Z1. Will the combo you provided run at a high FPS and look good at the same time? I am new to this so I appreciate all of your help!

On top of that Nvidia Shadowplay is supported by it, this allows you to stream games, regardless of what game, directly to twitch. The best part is the card uses a specialized component so none of your PC's hardware is being used, except a bit of RAM and network bandwidth.

I wouldn't recommend the i7 4790k it is overkill for gaming You can same some money and get an i5 4690k and a gtx 970 which is so much better for gaming and the gtx 970 will last you a while before you need to upgrade compared to a gtx 960

Thoughts about dropping the i7 for an intel xeon E3-1231 V3 3.4GHz quad-core processor? That's what I was just recommended with the gtx 970! Thanks
