First Gaming Rig

I am looking to build my first gaming pc, I'm not looking to dump a ton of money on it, but I also want to be able to play most AAA titles at 1080p with around 60fps.

So far I'm somewhat sure I'm going to be using an intel i5 4690k CPU and the asus STRIX GTX 970 Graphics card.

I'm not entirely sure what motherboard to go with, I'm not going super cheap on this build, but I don't want to spend money I don't need to. I've heard the MSI Z97 G45 would work for my build, but I'd like input.

I'd also like some advice as far as CPU cooling, along with overall cooling.

(My price range is around 1k$)

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.
