New PC Advice.

CPU wise, get the 4690k, I have a 8320 overclocked to 4.75 and it falls behind Intels offering when it comes to gaming. When it comes to power draw and heat dissipation the AMD loses hands down.
for them otherboard Asus Z97-A is a good mix of features and price.
For CPU cooling if a custom water loop is out of the question I can reccomend Noctua products for air cooling, very happy with their NH-D14, but there are other good options out there.
