If you want to buy an i5-4690K and you want to overclock it, you'll need a good power supply and cooling solution. Also, a Z97 motherboard will be better in that case. However, I suggest buying an i5-4460 and a GTX 960/R9 380. Also, you can buy a Xeon E3-1231 v3 if you need more CPU power.

Downgrade to a i5 4460 since you cannot overclock the i5 4690K. Use the extra money to invest into a better GPU like the R9 380.

 

The SSD is trash, don't get it. Something like the Sandisk SSD Plus or Adata SP550 will fair alot better.

 

Lastly, a better PSU. A 500W PSU from SeaSonic or XFX would be great.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.
