Not a big fan of the CS550M psu. It is not a bad unit, but there are better units that are usually competitively priced. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=366

 

Don't plan on upgrading a cpu. It generally will not happen. Usually because by the time one is ready to upgrade compatible models are either unavailable or quite expensive. But also because the latest generation offers better performance and pricing. But if you wish to disregard this advice, at least get a Z97 motherboard so that when (if) you upgrade to an i5-4690K you will be able to take advantage of it being unlocked, i.e. you will be able to overclock the little beastie.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
