-Team Elite 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
-BitFenix Comrade
-Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 2GB

Solution
Drop down to a 4460 with an h97 board, get 1600 ram, and get a 280 with a xfx 550 watt psu.

Reason:
- Great cpu but bad video card. You want to balance it atleast
- Ram is slow. look for cl 9 1600 ram
- 270x isn't all great for a 4690k. 280x is nice.
- Motherboard will change with the cpu
- PSU is low quality. Look into an XFX 550 watt psu, or any other 550 watt psu from seasonic, antec, or xfx

Thanks, I've already got it, just looking to see what I should or could improve since I've got a little bit of spare money.
