This is my first build and in another thread i asked for advice on building a computer. After looking into it i have come up with this build:

CPU: Intel Core i7-2600 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Glacer 240L 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M/CSM Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage 1: Crucial MX100 512GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage 2: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 290 4GB Double Dissipation Video Card
Case: Thermaltake Core V71 ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair RM 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Does this build look okay? I'll also be buying a keyboard and mouse, preferably wireless, so any recommendations would be helpful there. Also I was wondering if i would be needing any case fans. Thanks!

Will the intel i2600 cpu work in place of the 4790k? the reason i ask is that i already have the i2600 in my old computer so i could save some money that way if it will work
