Gee Arctic Silver costs a lot where you are. Can you get a smaller/cheaper amount?

The Coolermaster hyper 212 EVO seems to be the predominantly preferred cooler here. Look at reviews.

Otherwise, I think the proposed build looks 100%

I would go for better mobo and gtx 750
and IPS monitor

^^ what tiny voices said because you don't need an aftermarket cooler for a stock cpu.
