Since you want the locked 4670, you'll be fine without an aftermarket cooler. So I took it off, and changed to a more featured H87 motherboard.

Running two RAM modules would be dual-channel mode and is way faster than just running 1. So I put 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance RAM.

Then the rest of your build is fine.
