1) The motherboard is good one. You can look for more LGA 1150 Motherboards from other manufacturers like gigabyte, MSI, ASRock, etc. But this is more than enough.

2) Choosing the i5-4670K was a best choice. If you are gaming the sweet spot is i5-4670K.

3) If you intend to overclock the cpu, then it is important to get an aftermarket cooler. But if you donot think of overclocking, your stock cooler is enough. But if you are overclocking, i would suggest you water cooling like the corsair H80 or H100i.

4) All the parts are compatible, and there is no problem.

But if you are interested to only play games, then 16GB of RAM is not needed, get 8GB kit of 1866MHz or 1600MHz. It is more than enough for gaming and normal stuffs, as even...
