There's no point in getting Z-series MoBo with non-K CPU.
Either get K-series CPU with Z-series MoBo (while price goes up) or get H-series MoBo to match non-K CPU.

That being said, here's a non-OC (overclock) build,

and an OC build too,

Bench between the two:

Your build wasn't bad, you were just overpaying for the motherboard, RAM, and video card. Your psu was not very good.

My build adds in a much more reliable psu, more sensible motherboard, i7, and better bang for buck video card.
