On that chipset you can't get DDR4 anyway, besides there will be no performance gain whatsoever.

Well, Haswell is still a great option, it's you decision, do you think 5%/10% performance gains are worth however much skylake is?

SSD and hard drive look great.

Changed the PSU

Made some small adjustments,

Q1. The cheapest Z97 motherboard with all of his requirements.

Q2. No, since he is using a LGA 1150 CPU, DDR4 would be useless.

Q3. 8GB of DDR3 from a good brand would be fine. (I would go for the HyperX Fury, because it is cheap and it has a slightly faster speed)

Q4. What is he using it for? for gaming? NO!!! For Rendering? Maybe!

Q5. The SSD and HDD are fine, maybe not get a black HDD.

Q6. That PSU is NASTY!

get cheaper ram and only 8 gigs of it 

get a samsung 850pro/evo ssd. it costs less and it performs better

get a cheaper case and invest the money in a 980

that psu is prety bad

i'd recommend this one
