Hey guys, I have several question for ya all.

I am going to sell my shitty pc
- amd a4 3400
- gt 520
- 2x2gb ram
- windows 7 ultimate

and buy a new one with alot of money addon. (i upgraded my gfx card from gt 520 to an gtx750 1gb but the cpu bottlenecks it so i will switch it to my new pc)

-i5 4690 (non-k, i do not plan to overclock | will I get much better render performance if i buy a k version and overclock it, or just a small improvment?)
-ASRock z97 extreme4 (do i need this?)
-2x4gb 1600mhz Kingston Fury Blue
-Thermaltake SMART SE 530w
-Seagate barracuda 1tb
-Sharkoon VG-4
-GTX750 (from the old pc)

What do you think?

 
You do not need the Z97 motherboard if your CPU cannot be overclocked - and the 4690 cannot be overclocked, so save yourself some money and get a H97 or H87 motherboard.

Also, get a better PSU, as you do not want it breaking. It is something worth investing in.

Other than that, it looks good!
 


But if Z97 are the same price, as the OP stated, you may aswell get that for future upgrade
