[Eugenio Martinez]

Hi! this this my first post,  I have arranged pretty much all the parts I'm planning to buy for my new PC

 

This is the link of all the parts currently chosen:

I'm still missing a motherboard and power supply 

 

These are three options I'm considering for the motherboard:

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z87pro

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97a

 

Maybe you could suggest me one even better.

 

Also I would like to hear your opinion on the rest of the parts that I've chosen

I'm planning to play all the newest games in decent FPS (around 60) in 1080 

 

Thank you!!

Go with a 4690k and MSI Z97 Gaming 5, MSI Z97 G45, MSI Z97 G55 SLI, Gigabyte Z97 Gaming 5, or Asus Z97-A. Also, don't get an H100i, it has tons of mounting problems, either get the H105, or Seidon 240m (if its still on sale which I believe it is). And get a GTX 970 instead.

For motherboard get AsRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer

For CPU cooler get Noctua U14S

For GPU get a GTX 970

For PSU if you're only running one graphics card then get the 550W Rosewill Capstone. If you plan on running two in the future get EVGA 750G2

Do i really need a 750w power supply?

using the power supply calculator from cooler master (http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com/)

I got that:

Your Recommended Minimum Power Supply is 

 

So, can I get a 550w power supply and even save on the electricity bill?

A 750w power supply will draw the same amount of power as a 550w; and a 750w leaves you room to add a second gpu.
