Hello! First of all I'm not native speaker so sorry for any grammatical mistakes. I'm planning to build a new PC, I did some research before posting here and so far my build looks like this:

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790 (non k version, cuz I'm not planning to overclock)
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 Windforce OC
HDD: Samsung SSD850 EVO 250GB (250gb is enough for now :))
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz CL9 Vengeance
Motherboard: ???? (prefer ATX cuz size doesn't matter)
Power Supply: ???? (will 600W be enough?)
Case: I'll find something around 20$ ;)

So basically I need your help with choosing Motherboard (around 70$) and Power Supply (around 50$). It would be nice if this motherboard has 4x RAM slots, 1x GPU slot and some slot that I'll be able to stick in Sound Card in the future. Any ideas to change my build are welcome too :)

I really dont know your budget or what are you going to be doing with your pc but i still wanted to suggest you something.

If you choose to go with my build you can swap the 4690k to 4690 and then leave the water cooler. Also the back exhaust fan of that case should be moved to the front to intake air so there would be 2 intake and 2 exhaust fans. The PSU might be older version, didn't find the newer one from pcpartpicker.

If you really need the hyperthreading of i7 then i would also change the gtx 970 to r9 390 because of vram gains. After the change 650w power supply should do the work. Choose one from the psu tier list 2.0!! Ones that are tier 1 or tier 2.

If you dont want to change the gpu then 500 watt power supply is enough actually also. What comes to the motherboard, you can take almost any h87 or h97 board :D mAtx ones might be cheaper and are compatible with 90% of the atx size cases? So that is why you should also look for them!
