This is typical, only the Z boards allow for RAM overclocking (which is anything over 1600MHz 9-9-9 according to Intel)

I have considered AMD option before, and after some reading on the internet i decided to stay with Intel 4790K. I want to take that CPU as a good basis for a serious machine that will be built in some steps.
PSU model it is Chieftec GPS 400AA-101
I am currently using ASUS N750JV laptop with i7 4700HQ, and i am quite happy with it. Thats one more reason i vote for Intel. One more is i need a reliable, stable machine, with no or little OC.
Thing is that i need this machine built asap, and thats why i want to use some parts from my old comp. First thing that will come after CPU, MB, and RAM is PSU. It is basically matter od days, maybe one-two weeks from buying base components to upgrading PSU. GPU later...You can use the PSU you have. I would look to replace it ASAP(!!) though. Do you have a model number for it? It's likely not a very good unit and the last thing you want is for it to fail and kill another, much-more-expensive component.
total: 60,240 RSD (re-using HDD, case, PSU, no GPU, and using the stock Intel CPU cooler)
That's over-budget by a bit, but it might be the best you can do, while keeping the 4790K.

I really like the idea of i7, and i will go with it. Budget i specified it budget of this moment and will go up in very near future. Probably the Z97 chipset as well. You suggested that stock cooler will do fine, but currently im using Hyper TX3 EVO which i will transfer to the new machine, so i am safe there

I understand PSU importance, and will definitely try to get good one as well in the first round of components. Can you please suggest me two (low cost but good-safe) options for use with CPUs GPU, and second for a "real" GPU?

The seasonic I linked above is the cheapest I'd trust from that site.
I'll look again for a unit which would also support a GPU (430w would limit your GPU options).
Edit:
That Seasonic 430w would be my pick for now. Aren't many other brands I would trust available through that retailer and the next step up from Seasonic (the 520w) is a good deal more money. I'd go with the 430w until you know which GPU you'll be adding (some require far less power than others).

Ok, so here is my definitive component choice, i managed to stretch the budget for some amount:
CPU: I7 4790K - 310 euro
Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H - 97 euro
HyperX 16GB FURY DDR3 1866MHz CL10 KIT HX318C10FK2/16 - 90 euro
M12II SS-850AM 850 W 80+ bronze - 80 euro
Please give me any thoughts on component choice. Thanks!

Sure, i know, its just that i found decent PSU for a price i can afford, used tho, but still under warranty. I am planing a decent GPU in near future so it will be OK. Still overkill, but OK
