There is no i5-3470K. Do you mean i5-3470 or i5-3570K?

 

[kingsleym98]

whoops!
Ok I Fixed it (3570K)

Are you overclocking? If so, you need a CPU cooler.

If not, you can save alot of money by going with the i5-3470 and a H77 motherboard.

I will eventually overclock, any advice for a CPU cooler?

 

[malbluff]

For cooler, the most popular, and decent, is CoolerMaster Hyper 212Evo. That mobo is not one of Asus' best. It won't give full support for a 2nd GPU, if you wanted to add, and probably doesn't overclock particularly well. Would suggest Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H may be better.
Would generally prefer MSI, or Gigabyte for GPU.
You need low profile RAM, to avoid possible clash will cooler. Suggest Corsair CML, GSKill Ares, or Crucial Ballistix Sport.

i got the cooler and switched out the motherboard

The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is good as long as you're not doing some serious overclocking. The link to your case leads to a 404, so you need to make sure that it will fit into the case, as it is a larger heatsink. http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=207_23_845&products_id=18670

Edit: I'm a bit late it seems.
