CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K
GPU: Gigabyte R9 270X OC with BF4
Mobo: Asrock B85 M-ITX
RAM: G Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB 1600 MHZ
Storage: Using a 120 GB Samsung 840 EVO and 7200 RPM 320 GB HDD (Reusing from old setup)
PSU: Corsair CX 430W V3
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy M-ITX Blue
Monitor: 24" ASUS VE248H

I'm having trouble finding some good cooling options. I was going to buy a CM HYPER 212X aftermarket CPU cooler however I don't know it it will fit in my bitfenix case. I also don't know a lot about which case fans I would want (BLUE LED). The case comes with 2 already. My budget is 1200 AUD. All of the parts i listed above add up to $1100 AUD. So all the cooling options would total to $100 AUD. Thanks guys.

Tell me if I made any bad choices. I want to game at 1080P. Games I play are SC2, LoL, PoE, some CSGO and TF2. Just want a computer that will last a while incase I want to move on to more graphics intense games because this MBP isn't very game worthy. I'm 15 and this would be the first computer I build.

PS I'm going to use Windows. And I might try and install MAC OS.

i've seen other people use that cooler and case combo so I assume it works. Only problem I see is your PSU. Look at the xfx 550W, should find it at a great price.
