Wouldn't bother with the 2600K, get a 2500K instead.

Assuming you won't be overclocking (based on the motherboard choice) so no need for a 3rd party cooler

See if that extra budget savings can get you a better video card (not that your choice is bad, but you should always put as much into the video card as possible)
