So, I'm trying to get some new parts for my PC. I'm trying to get a ZOTAC ZT-90101-10P GeForce GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit Graphics Card and i'm not sure what mother board or CPU to get with it. If someone can help that would be great. I'm trying to maintain a price below $630. if you guys can come up with something then that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

What's your budget for the whole build? Are peripherals and software included in the budget?

The real question is, does your current PSU have enough power to run said items? What is name/model of it? This is just something you may want to check before hand in case you need to get an upgrade on that too.

I'm saying that if you want to get a CPU, board, and 970 for under $630, it's not happening. $630 for the CPU and board alone is different, albeit probably too much.

We'd need to know what case you have, what the make and model of your PSU is and it would help to know the rest of your specs. Download speccy and post a screenshot here and tell us your PSU and case details. $630 is more than enough for a GTX 970 and a decent i5 with motherboard, unless you want to overclock your CPU.

And if your current PSU is good enough then get a better cpu or an SSD.

Stupid amount to pay for a B85 chipset board that may not even be compatible with OP's case. Plus, it's $25 over budget.
