Rate My Build :)

Hey, all!
I'm building a budget mITX PC with a total cost of ~700$ US. (I hope). I went with an Intel i5 4670 and an MSI Z97-I Gaming AC mobo, but that put me over my budget. Does anyone have any ideas for a good replacement from AMD that can lower the cost? I'd also appreciate it if you could suggest a mITX mobo that matches its socket with a current-ish chipset. Parts:

Case: Bitfenix Prodigy (Black)
CPU: Intel 4670 (I need an AMD replacement for lower cost).
Mobo: MSI Z97-I Gaming AC (I need a replacement that matches the AMD CPU).
GPU: MSI R9 270X
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) G.Skill Sniper @1600 MHz
PSU: Corsair HX 650W (Any cheaper replacement would be appreciated).
Storage: 1TB WD Caviar Blue 7200 Rpm
DVD: 20$ ASUS DVD Drive

Thanks!

There are no Mitx boards that support AND AMD CPU that even comes close to an i5.

Just get an H97 chipset board and an i3.

8/10. I would change some stuff but besides that it looks great.

There is no point in getting a Z-prefix motherboard with a non-K Intel CPU. The Z- chipset is solely for overclocking.

Also, I'd be thinking you could save with a micro-ATX instead of a mini-ITX.

Bitfenix does make the Prodigy cases in both ITX and ATX formfactors.
