Hi guys, This is my first thread and i'd like to ask you for advices about my build
CPU Intel Core i5-4690k
GPU nVidia GeForce 970 Gigabyte Windforce
HDD Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5"
SSD Samsung 850 Evo 120GB Sata III
RAM Corsair Vengeance 1866 MHz CL9 8GB (2x4)
CASE Zalman Z11 Plus (HF?)
MOBO AsRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance
PSU Enermax Triathlor Modular 80+ 650W
WRITER LG GH24NSB0
CPU COOLER Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Do you think this build is good or it needs some replacements (I'm in doubt especially about the cpu Cooler and the case) ? And are all components compatible? Thanks :)
Edit: I forgot to say thatt I will use a LG 32LB561V as a monitor, does it work for gaming or is garbage?

Then you can buy the cooler later when you have the budget, if the cpu does overheat and you can open the case side panel temporarily let it cool down.
One more thing, you may consider to just buy one bigger size SSD, like 250GB, and the cooler first, then buy the HDD later, because you will find out 120GB may not enough, even you just install the OS and few programs. I think £10 more you can get 130GB, it is good deal. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e120bam%2Csamsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e250bam/

May change the MB to Z97, because you can run the 1866mhx speed on H97 MB, which can only support up to 1600.

So, this is my new build, I took off the cpu cooler and replaced the mobo into a z97 for oc, I think this is my ultimate decision. In any case, I still have some doubts about the compatibilty, for example MoBo - CPU. MoBo - RAM, Case - GPU, could you tell me if am I right?

Yes I know, but my budget is limited to that price,I have to choose between 4690k- Z97 and 4690-H97-212, not 4690k-z97-212 at least now, maybe in two months I can buy a cooler; what I thought is, I can add the cooler whenever I want, but if I have to change the mobo form a h97 to a z97 I have to do a mess... Sorry if I have to ask you again, can you tell me the compatibility of the components? My biggest fear is that something will not work properly..
