    Well IMO if you are going to use that heat sink you might as well go with the i5 4690k. The only reason you need a heat sinc that good is if you are overclocking your processor. Also I would recommend getting 2 sticks of ram. having 2 sticks reduces the stress on one even if its not using the full power and extends its life. The motherboard is kinda (well really) bleh but if you are not planning on upgrading this system ever then it will be fine. The graphics card is nice! TBH looking at the dimensions of that tower, it looks like that heat sinc wont fit. my case is 5 inches wider and I have the same one and it barely fits. but the stock one that comes with the processor will be more than enough. Running really close to that minimum wattage huh? Well hope that power supply doesn't lose those watts soon . I personally would always go 100 watts higher than minimum just to be safe.

    Sorry if i seem negative towards some things but in my tower i cheaped on some parts just to have to completly get new ones to upgrade other parts. got my sli gtx 980 and needed new motherboard due to no second pcie 3.0 slot and needed a bigger power supply. So i kinda wished someone would have told me haha.
