I'm not planing to OC in the near future so I got the i5-4670K to have the option to OC

the case comes with 2 fans (Front: intake | Back: exhaust) But I got these two extra fans to get more air flow. is that necessary?

My questions:
Can I stick with the stock CPU cooler? until I want to OC?
I got the Hybrid drive because of the budget but can I get an SSD later and re-install the OS on it?
What do you think of the build? is everything compatible? what should I change/remove?

I run a similar setup right now and have no problem with the stock cooler. Its decently quiet under normal use and load temperatures are acceptable.Looks like a very solid build but the PSU and MOBO seem a little of a overkill, but yes, everything is compatible and good to go.

Edit:

I would add a SSD as a boot drive. A small 120 gig version will do and makes the whole system faster in everyday use.

What other PSU and MOBO do you recommend? maybe I can save up to get the SSD
