In general, yes you'd rather spend less on the CPU so that you can spend more on the GPU. The best deal on the CPU looks to be the i5 4590 for 1500 LE.

As for the GPU, this Sapphire R9 280X 3GB for 2200 LE is a good deal.

agreed, the i5-4690k while a good CPU, seems a bit over priced at that price point. The cheaper i5-4590 will be close to the performance of the 4690k anyawy.
