Go for an AMD R9 380 instead of the GTX 960. Go for the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (CPU Cooler). What is your PSU?

i already have the 960, really this is just me upgrading a mobo, changing case, and upgrading cpu. i got my psu from my uncle, i don't know what it is but i'm fairly sure its a 500watt powersupply

oh, okay 

then i5 4690k is great choice, it will last you very long

what do you think would be a good cooler for when i overclock my cpu that will fit in the case?

Your case doesnt have much space for Cooler Master hyper 212 evo (CPU cooler height is only 155mm), so I'll recomend Thermalright Macho 210 Rev. A. Great cooler. Unless You change that case for something bigger

Sorry for my low english, but I'm trying my best  ;)

but on the thermalright website, it says that cooler is H162mm, surely that can't fit right?

You made a mistake. Cooler you're talking about is the Thermalright HR-02 Macho Rev. B> link <. This is cooler that I wrote about: Thermalright Macho 120 Rev. A> Link <
