z97 mobo for the cpu would allow an oc. Go for 8 gb instead of 16gb of RAM, and put the money towards a 390 or 390x. Also, I would suggest a different SSD and HDD. An 850 evo and WD blue would be more reliable and last longer.

I agree with Shadowbyte.  Upgrade to a z97 board, cut the ram down to 8gb,and replace the SSD and HDD with better models, but I would also like to suggest a bit beefier of a cpu cooler if you're set on air cooling.  When it comes to the graphics card either the 970 or 390 is a good choice and it depends on which is cheaper,and as far as cases go it really depends on what your budget is so I just picked out a nice cheaper mid tower.  Here are my suggestions:

 


 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($227.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Motherboard: ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($111.98 @ Newegg)

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card  ($309.99 @ NCIX US) 
Case: NZXT S340 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($64.99 @ Directron) 
Total: $990.80

I wouldn't say an unlocked i5 is worth it over the Xeon 1231v3, also this has a larger SSD, you'd only want the unlocked chip if you have to power a 144hz display

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
