First PC build help

[Zoid13erg]

I really want to build a cost effective gaming rig and Ive been doing a lot of research but I still need help with understanding how to choose specific products.

I'm looking to keep my build sub $1000 and from what I've researched I want a i5 4690k and a gtx 970. Should I be looking at a i5 6600k?

How do I pick a good motherboard that will allow me to OC my CPU while being relatively easy to set up.

sub $1000 including monitor, keyboard, mouse, operating system?

 

EDIT:

 

If not, then this would work well: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4XyBVn

 

You can push the budget by about $30 to get a nicer case.

Welcome to the forums @Zoid13erg Technically, this should go in the 'New builds and planning' subforum (right?)

Unless you want ddr4 memory you don't really need skylake.

If your budget excludes the os and the rest this will be a good build:http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

I posted my almost complete build but could use some help. I know I'm a complete noob but I've been learning on my own from reading and YouTube videos alone.
