So first I would like to say that the reason I have decided to build with the ASRock M8 is that I love the look and I don't have space for a desk, so yes it will be connecting to my TV when I game, sorry everyone. Here's the build:

ASRock M8: 549.99
I5-4670: 219.99
EVGA GTX 760: 249.99
2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance SO-DIMM DDR3 1600: 148.99
Samsung 840 pro 256GB SSD: 214.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 64MB cache 2TB HDD: 99.99
Xigmatec CAC 90mm CPU cooler: 24.99

Total: 1508.93

the main two questions I have are in regards to the CPU:
1. Because this is 1150 (which I am a bit dissapointed with) is the 4670 my best choice? I thought about the 4670k but I realized with the heating issue in this mini-itx case I most likely wont overclock. Or is the 4770/4770k worth the extra?

2. this was the only CPU cooler I could find that may work, ill be honest I didnt search too much. Are there any good coolers that will fit?

Any other suggestions are much appreciated, I want this to be a great gaming machine.
