You don't need that CPU cooler since you're not overclocking that CPU. Just use the stock CPU fan unless you're getting the CM Hyper 212 Evo for looks.

Instead of getting a cheap Z97 board, why not get a good H97 board? That is unless you're planning to SLI. Except that Z97 board doesn't support SLI.

If you're not planning to put multiple cards in your build, consider the R9 390. The tradeoff is more power consumption, but you have a good enough PSU.

Be aware that you're not going to be able to crossfire in the future. Even though your motherboard supports it, your PSU isn't high enough.

Be careful of the Enthoo Pro. It's one of the best cases, but it's huge! Of course that's how full towers are.

 

Why are you going with Windows 7 instead of Windows 10? It's not a problem. I'm just wondering. Are you planning to get the cheaper W7 then get the free W10 upgrade?

 

Edit: Actually, since Skylake is out, why not go with Skylake?

Since you already have a decent cooler and a z97 mobo, why not get an unlocked CPU? 60 bucks more on a 4690k will take you over 4 ghz. If you don't mind spending a few more bucks you could also consider an upgrade to your mobo and get the 6600k

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
