Double Post, and the ram you chose is for laptops... I would recommend asking for others to help you choose parts.

Intel build if you don't plan to SLI:

You will get better performance for the price.

Do you live anywhere near a Microcenter ? As you can pick up the i5 4690K for $179.99 in store. Then you could get a budget Z97 board such as the MSI Z97 pc mate to go with it.
