EDIT: should i remove the cpu cooler or keep if i dont overclock, is it worth it?

As you aren't overclocking, go for the non-overclocking socket 1150 board.

A H87 one, it's also cheaper than the Z87.

Pair a Z87 board with a nice Haswell 4670 ( non-K ) and you'll save quite a bit.

With the extra money you've saved by choosing the right parts you can add a nice SSD to your build :-)

 

And another thing, a 600watts 80plus bronze power supply will be more than enough for the configuration.

 

Good luck!

Overcloker is always worth it , i managed to get 35% more power out of my system makes a massive difference in BF4 and rendering videos :) , so overclocking when doing a DIY pc should be a must

I recommend overclocking since its like getting a free performance boost. You can increase your system's performance greatly if you overclock, but if you don't, get an i5-4670 (non K) and a non Z motherboard such as an H81 like other members have suggested.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

He said he's planning to Crossfire, which isn't supported by the H87 or H81 chipset.

Oops, I missed that then. Sorry OP. 

 

I guess you could just get a non K i5-4670K then.
