Sanity Check - new PC

Hi All,
Just wanted some eyes on this spec and let me know if I am missing something;

ASRock Z97 Anniversary
Intel Core i7-4790K
Kingston Beast 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB FTW ACX 2.0

I have a Samsung 850 Pro and other drives, already got an EVGA SuperNova G1 650W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply and putting it all in my old school Lian Li A05N (updated to USB3 with a new lid with 140mm fan support)

Looking for a cheap (air) heat sink that will fit this mobo and case and/or any other suggestions, will be using Noctua fans

The idea was to spend bigger on G-card and CPU and skimp on everything else.

Cheers

The Rajintek coolers are quite good value for money. I'd hardly call an i7 skimping though!

ninja edit, spending on cpu and graphics, skimp on the rest

yes i was looking at those heatsinks, seem good, im confident they will fit the case, just concerned about the large heatsink on the mobo might get in the way

Any reason not to have an AIO? Better for your gpu type because it vents heat straight out.

I have 2 rajintek coolers(Themis and another type) in a couple of my builds. Excellent value coolers.

so the A05N case I have pulls air in from the back to the front, putting a rad on the intake wont help the general case temp(?), and the exhaust has the 5.25 rack cage or psu in the way for the hoses

does the rajintek have abit of space from block to fins?
