I'm not going to overclock it so I shouldn't need a 4670k?

Asus Z87 PRO LGA 1150 Motherboard
I'm not sure about this Motherboard but I didn't want to spend over $200

Kingston Hyper X Blu 8 GB (2x4GB Modules) 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 XMP - 1600MHz should be good because I'm not overclocking?

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express
This should good for any games I want?

I have everything else, so this is what I need to buy. Does it look like a good fit?
 
I would save a bit of money on the motherboard and go with a Gigabyte one and spend a bit more on the GPU if u can.
 
If you're getting a z87 motherboard you might as well get a K CPU. You don't have to OC but you might want to later.
 
All of that is outdated. Not by much, but might as well buy the newest: Consider getting something like an ASUS Z97-A, a i5-4690, Kingston HyperX Fury and a GTX 760.
These are all direct successors of the parts you listed :)
 
You don't need high-end mobo if you are not overclock.
also, Are you going to run dual video card?

If you are not overclock nor dual video card. You can probably save money by going for H97 chipset around $110.
Or may be $140 Z97

GTX 660 is old.
Get GTX 760 or R9 270X, which ever suit your budget
 
I'm going with the R9 270X video card but I'm confused about the motherboard. I would like to go with the Gigabyte Z97 I guess but there are so many of them I'm not sure which one to get? I will play some games but that's about it for power. I am putting in a 750 watt power supply. I would like a motherboard with as many USB's as I can get because I have a lot of stuff I put on my computer and I don't use HUBs
