Seems good but you could go with a cheaper mobo, you dont really need the z97 if you arent overclocking your CPU :P

 

Also you can get Windows 10 from reddit much cheaper.

 

Then with all the savings buy yourself an SSD

 

Also dont forget to follow your posts @Shrek_Johnson

The only reason i got a Z97 motherboard because it was $10 more than a mATX h97 and I did not want a mATX board.

You can use literally any LGA1150 board
