Just a 4690 and the case will have good air flow. So will it be okay?

If you haven't bought it yet that you could save some money and get an H series motherboard. The Z series is for overclocking so it's only worth getting if you get a -K CPU. In a corsair 300R the stock cooler on an 4690 will be fine, but as leeb said, it's going to be noisy under load and relatively hot. You might find that the CPU seems to slow down as the turbo boost feature is affected by heat, so if it starts getting too hot it's going to downclock.

Update: that wasn't the link I thought it was, but it still notes that boost is affected by heat.
