a high quality case from fractal design or corsair
samsung SSD
corsair water cooler for CPU

if you wanna go cheaper you can go with a Z97 chipset on the Mobo, intel devils canyon CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM & the GTX 970 card.

good luck.
there's no point for him to go with z99... lga2011.. DDR4 is more expensive then ddr3 and so are the cpus that are lga 2011. for what the OP needs this would be overkill. z87 or z97 with a core i7 4770k or 4790k with 8 to 16gb of ram and a good PSU and graphics card is good enough.
