Right off the bat no point in getting an i5 4670k when you can' t even utilize unlocked multiplier with the B85 chipset. You'll need a Z87 chipset to take advantage of that. So either drop down to a non "K" processor and/or upgrade to a Z87 chipset.

Not a good CPU cooler. For one, you probably wont be overclocking depending on which option you go with above. Secondly, for not much more money you can get a much better CPU cooler.

Not a good choice in SSD.

Please answer the sticky questions.
