Your only option is the 4690k unless you want to go with an outdated CPU.

What is the oem/tray version?https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu/#s=12

It's just the CPU, not the boxed version that's sold. Does not come with a heat sink.

I strongly recommend you look into a different GPU, that particular R9 290 has terrible reviews.

Right, I put the same card that you had.  If you keep reading, I say look into a different R9 290.

The G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum. Is there a way to fix that still with the same ram?

Thats not a problem, Just because intel hasn't validated it, doesn't mean it is not compatible.  I run a 1.65v RAM with my i5.  Its a non-issue.
