I'd say you'll be fine with the fans that come with the case (looks like there are 3). No need to purchase any more.

Front: 200mm red LED fan x 1 (or 120mm fan x 2 / 140mm fan x 1)
Top: 200mm fan x 2 (1 is optional; can be swapped to 120/140mm fan x 2)
Rear: 140mm fan x 1 (or 120mm fan x 1)
Side: 200mm fan x 1 (optional; or 140mm fan x 2)
HDD cage: 120x25mm fan x 2 (optional)

You don't really NEED the hyper 212 either, since you're not overclocking. It does run a little quieter though so it's up to your preference.

Looking like a really nice system, good luck!

That's a good debate. Personally, I like to have the option of overclocking. It's more of a hobby than anything. And it makes you a little more "future proof".

If you do decide to go for the K, don't forget you'll need a Z97 motherboard too.

if u are comfortable with OC then only go for a k version processor there are many people who buy k version processor and dont oc them so there is no meaning for that...and as already said above u would need a z97 board if u get a k version processor....
