Go to solution Solved by HKZeroFive,

Power supply isn't what I'd go for, and no need to get a Z97 for a locked CPU. Also, 16GB of RAM would be better for a workstation instead of just 8GB.

 

EDIT: Xeon with hyperthreading, 16GB of RAM and a better PSU.

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Superclocked Video Card  ($99.99 @ Newegg) 
Case: Rosewill Stryker M ATX Mid Tower Case  ($59.99 @ Amazon) 
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 520W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($55.99 @ SuperBiiz)
