Hey guys! This is my first time building a pc and I'm still struggling to find the last components. So I decided to post here in order to maybe get the answer about my missing components and also get some feedback about my build if possible.
I will be playing games like World of Warcraft and League of Legends aswell as some FPS games.
I also plan on play some of the new games that will be released during the next year. If possible I would like to be able to stream my games sometimes.
Here's my build so far:

My Video Card will be a Asus Geforce GTX 660 Ti 3GB Direct CU. This is the only component I already have. Can you guys recommend me a CPU Cooler and a Case?
My budget for those 2 components is around 170$.

Yes, I forgot to mention my budget! My budget is around 700$ but my goal is to build the best price-performance computer within my gaming goals. I
Isnt the i5 4690K better for gaming that the i7 4790, due to the fact that the i5 is unlocked for OC?
I wasn't sure if you were overclocking

Get a CPU Cooler - Coolermaster Hyper 212 evoCase - Corsair 230T
For the GTX660Ti, change from the CX750 to a Seasonic M12II 520 - $67 at Newegg - much better quality
RAM - to fit under the CPU Cooler, get GSkill Ares 2 x 4gb 1866 1.5V cl9
Can a 520 Watt PSU do the same job as the 750? I choose the CX750M because I've read that It's pretty good. Is that one that you recommended better?
I'm trying to get the best price-performance parts for all the computer.
Also, the COrsair Vengeance RAMs will not fit under the CPU Cooler? Or are those just better?
