Agree with this, I would buy the cooler now to only have to go thru one heatsink installation.
The Evo should come with a small tube of decent thermal compound (My 212 + did)

If you will overclock then i suggest getting Cooler Master 212 EVO cooler for cpu.
If not - get i5-3470.
If you will use cooler, you need low profile RAM, like ripjaws z or ares.
I'd suggest samsung 840 or 840pro

I like your choices.

I assume your using an existing HDD for mass storage.
You should also get an aftermarket cooler since your likely going to be be overclocking, would suggest the CM Hyper 212 Evo as a cost effective choice, or the Noctua NH-D14 if you want/require a stronger cooler.

yes i will overclock it but not for now , this is my first build ever and i want to take my time to build it perfectly before oc...
at stock speed im supposed to run my games maxed out so theres no need to oc now for me.


I search review and Versus between 830 and 840 ... and it seems that the 830 is faster than 840... slower than 840 pro... so its a good compromise for me...

Yes thats a good choice for the ram. Ripjaws also has a low-profile option, as well as other G.Skill low-profile series such as Ares or Sniper.

Your monitor choice also seems to review well for a well priced IPS.

I've had good luck with gskill myself. Nice quality selections on parts too. The stock cooler will do fine till you want to overclock, but for the little money extra I'd go ahead and buy the Cooler Master 212 EVO. Just because you have it, doesn't mean you have to immediately overclock. And it's simpler not having to tear into your pc again just to install a heatsink/fan :) .

I can't speak on the ASUS mobo you've chosen, but its a popular choice here so someone else will likely be able to confirm that.

However the Ripjaws X does fit under my Hyper 212+ on my Gigabyte UD3H.
