Fractal Design Define R5 119.99
Motherboard:
ASUS Z97-PRO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 189.99

Drop down to about a 850W PSU, single 12V rail, modular.

there may not be much support for anything over a 4-core processor but i went for the amd fx-8350 its an 8-core @ 4GHz simply use the cpu unpark utility v1 (NOT v2 doesnt seem to work the same) you can google it and youll be ready for the next few years or so easily especially for any ported games you may like beings xbox one and ps4 went with 6+core amd processors amd may not have much of a heat tolerance which kills its overclock ability but we all know that games AND other apps WILL get more ridiculous as the years go by plus i got mine on newegg for about $180 thats a steal of a deal to me trust me im more than happy with this cpu
cpu unpark utility is also attached helped me loads the original zip file i had dl'd

Yeah, if you drop the PSU down to a proper range like I mentioned, then get a good, but properly priced, motherboard like the Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H. You should be able to throw the i7 4790K in there instead of the i5 4690K.
