CPU and MOTHERBOARD

[D_Jaxx24]

Hey guys so basically I have exactly $415 to spend on my motherboard and processor. I want an intel i5 4690k 1.5 Ghz and nothing less. The motherboard I just need a good one that will work with that. Thank you so much in advance.

Is there a reason for DDR3?

I'd go with the newer Skylake architecture for better futureproofing given your budget:
