With a midrange you'd probably be playing at 1080p most of the time as well, so you don't need a high res monitor.
Also just use the stock CPU cooler and with the monitor change, you just added $200 to your GPU budget.
Make sure the motherboard you buy has the bios that supports the new CPUs. I made that mistake and got stuck with a motherboard that can't be updated since I don't have an old CPU to use it with. Some support no-CPU upgrades.

When I built a PC for my friend earlier this year, Memory Express offered to install everything on the motherboard (CPU, HSF, RAM, SSD, GPU) and update the bios for no charge.
