I have done a refresh on the components that I plan to use for a gaming PC I plan to build in either December or January. I don't have any plans to overclock. Here are the parts that I have listed:
CPU Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core $219.98
CPU Cooler Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $29.99
Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150 $124.98
Memory Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 $89.99
Storage Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" SSD $209.99
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM $84.99

Optical Drive Asus BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer $58.99
I plan to play games such as the Mass Effect and Crysis trilogies at 1080p on high settings with a single display. My questions are:
1. With the motherboard I have selected:
a. Does it support Turbo Boost 2.0?
b. Will the video card, wireless adapter, and sound card that I have selected experience any
bottlenecks with this motherboard?
2. With the amount of RAM that I have selected, along with the other components listed, will it be able to hand the following scenarios without trouble:
a. Listening to FLAC audio files on Winamp and adjusting the sound with my sound card software, while browsing the web and typing on Microsoft Word?
b. Playing games at 1080p at high settings in both single-player and multi-player modes?
3. I have been told that I don't need the Noctua case fans. Will the fans that come with the case be enough? How can I tell if I need additional cooling? The only component that I may add on at a later time is a third HDD. Thanks.
