Im building a new pc, heres my part list

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/mmkJXL

My budget is 2k CAD, I already have some parts (h100i, gskill sniper 16gb 1866, corsair rm 750w gold, 120gb ss, 2tb hdd)

Im currently a bit tight on cash, so I want a cheaper motherboard but with around same specs and around the price range from 90-120. Also im looking to overclock

Also, I want an i5 with same performance as the i7 4790k since i dont need the extra threads. I was wondering if i overclock the i5 to 4ghz will it have a drastically reduced life span?

Thanks
 
Solution
I'd switch the i7 to the i5 4690k and go the 980ti over the 980.

that ends up being ~$100 more so i'd then perhaps get a cheaper mobo and case if cash is tight.

Im debating between MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX and GIGABYTE GA-Z97x

The gigabyte has an extra couple of USB3 ports at the back and a M.2 (I can't see that the msi does) connector but about $30 more i'd probably go with it.

nice work with the i5 and 980ti btw - it will be an absolute beast!
