Do you mean the 4670k? or the 4570?

If you're getting the 4670k, get a z87/z97 motherboard. If its the 4570, then your motherboard will be fine, and you could get rid of the cooler. The stock cooler will do alright. Money saved can get you a better PSU. CX series isn't the most ideal ones.

Here's my suggestion:

It's cheaper than what you have, assuming its in USD.

4460 vs 4570, I imagine is the same performance due to the same frequency in speed. But the 4460 is a more recent release. So that might play a factor. If you're not planning on having a multicard setup, then the any h97 motherboard will do just fine. There's not much of a difference between the different h97 motherboards.

GPU, you could get a r9 290 with your budget...
