This motherboard has just as many features and is way cheaper

I don't know why you would get an mATX board with a full tower case. You are spending more for no reason. Also even with crossfire, which I assume you are making a build with that capability, you only need a 750w psu.
Just an idea, but look at these liquid coolers

They are all in the price range of that air cooler.
