Don't get the Z97 board since the processor isn't K.

The site doesn't use dollars. What's your actual budget?

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

Consider an H97 motherboard.

1$ US Dollar = 4 RON

 

Budget = RON 3700 -> US Dollar 950$

Thanks,

The way you quoted doesn't give a notification--just use the quote button or tag instead. 

If it doesn't break the budget too badly, this would be better:

I see some nice discounts but there are some issues. 

You need a H97/z97 board for the most part to use a Haswell Refresh cpu without a bios update. There are some newer boards from other chipsets that come with an updated bios but I don't think the H87 Pro4 is one of them. 

Unless you find another atx motherboard that works better, I'd suggest sticking with the N200 as a case as it is more compact and better for airflow. 

I'd also stick with the better SuperFlower psu as you don't really save money from going with the worse EP-650S.
