Absolutely. Both perform great and are well known.

If not intending to overclock, the aftermarket CPU cooler isn't necessary, you could drop that without issue. No optical drive? I think you will want a hard drive though.
I would consider that a good combination of components that should play well together. What are the intended uses for the machine and what are the most intensive applications you intend to run? I'm assuming it's a gaming rig

Stock will do fine if you don't overclock. If you want to OC later get a Hyper 212 evo
