Seem ok to me. However I'd get a 4590k and a Z97 mobo instead. You may not OC now, but later on about 2-3 years from now when it's become slow, you can start OC it to gain a few more years out of it. Same goes for PSU for future SLI I suppose.

I don't see any CPU going 'slow' after 2-3 years. I'm using a Phenom 9750 2.4 GHz that's from 2009. I can feel it slowly dying. After 6 years, any CPU will slow down. But an i5 will still be going strong in a few years. I won't be doing an SLI. Made it clear in the description.

CPU dont go "slow", it become slow compare to newer stuff that coming out, that's what I mean. Taking the last 2 gen for example, If I have the i5 4670k at 3.4 Ghz, when i5 4690k at 3.5 GHz come out and maybe even the next gen come out, I can still OC my 4670k to ~ 4Ghz so I dont need to change CPU again for until we got like 4.5+ GHz CPU or so :P

But will that 100 or 200 Mhz make a substantial difference?

Depend on what you are doing. I'd say yes. The price isnt all that different anyway, and it's just fun to doing it later on :3 I once thinking just like you and dotn want to OC at all. And then 3-4 years past by and I start wanting to OC, but I cant... so yeah :P

But I almost guarantee we don't think the same. So chances are I'll stay with my current frame of mind with no OCing.
