Feedback on my first custom gaming PC I made?

[MeeZoid]

Give feedback please, but also help possibly lowering the price of this.

I really like what it is looking like right now, especially the graphics card. I have recently turned away from thinking of getting an alienware for a terrible overprice. I have made this (my first time) and I was wondering about what people think of it. I would appreciate help of lowering this cost, but trying to keep the same graphics card, or one similar. thanks

The mobo is a poor choice for a 4690K as it doesn't OC or can save by changing the CPU to a non-K model. Also lose the CX power supply - they are made with weak caps, I won't touch that line of PSUs

What would you suggest changing these to?
I've changed the PSU to a "EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply", I don't exactly know if this is a good choice, but if so then its alright. Still need help on choosing a mobo, all help is appreciated. Thank you for the help.

PSU - might look at EVGA, SeaSonic, XFX........ On the other do you want to keep the K CPU (I would, it's like having a free CPU upgrade down the road) or want to drop to a non-K? I've got to grab some sleep will check back later this AM

Would look at the Asus Z97-A

Would look at the Asus Z97-A

I'm trying to lower the cost and thats almost x2 the price of my first one =/ Is there any other ones that would work at a lower cost? If not, I'll just use this one and I'll try to get it.

A 4690k is pointless without a Z97 board. Just go with an i5 4590. Only EVGA PSU's you should consider are the GS, G2, or B2 lines. The B2 750w, is a nice PSU, for the money. If you really want that 4690k, get a proper motherboard, like the MSI-Z97 gaming 5, and change that monitor to a less expensive 60hz model. Asus has other fast monitors, for quite a bit less.

Asus Z97-A or MSI Z97-Gaming 5?
Thanks for the help. I shouldn't have had that monitor on there for now. I'm not at that stage yet

I would choose the MSI, as it is on the THG best for the money listings, for motherboards.

Alright I changed it, so this looks good?
What performance would you think I'd get on games like DayZ, and other games that need good stuff like that?
Thanks everyone for your help.
