any suggestions is really appreciated , many thanks

Any Z97 motherboard will do the job and oc the
"K" decently.

The GTX750 only needs a minimal psu in the 350w range. That said, I would overprovision and buy a 600-650w psu to allow you a future graphics card that will be more appropriate for gaming with your cpu.

I would buy some sort of aftermarket cooler with at least a 120mm fan.

If you are planning on gaming you will be disappointed by the graphics cards performance on a 1080p monitor

Z97 is the chipset that allows you to overclock a 4690K. Many older Z87 motherboards can be updated for that function, but I think it is better to go with current technology.
It should cost no more.
Of the brands, I think I would favor Asus over MSI. Gigabyte is good too.
On the psu, buy only a quality brand. Here is a list:

One might use a GTX750 for games that do not have lots of movement.

A GTX770 class card would be appropriate for most shooters at 1080P

thnx for the link , good to know there are teirs in PSU's going to read some , and i get your point regarding the 770 i do own one ,but this build is for a mate making a lan/gaming cafe so thought of lowering the price abit for the GPU.

For an internet cafe you are unlikely to be overclocking .

I would use a cheaper i5 processor , mb with an H97 chipset [ probably m-ATX]
and spend the money you save on the graphics card
The GTX 770 is very powerful , an AMD R9 270X will play any game on high settings at 1080p and could be your best choice for value

your point is considered , the point of taking a 4690k is to overclock it after 4-5 years instead changing it , someone recommended me this move in this forum and i thought its the right thing to do.

My rule of thumb for a balanced gamer is to budget twice the cpu cost for the graphics card.

Consider the benefits of offering two levels of gaming.
use a G3258 and a GTX750 for a basic setup and a 4690K and a GTX780 class card for a top level.

For the OS, there is little advantage to more than windows 7 home premium.
