I'd have gone for an AMD build instead. It's a bit cheaper allowing for a better case and GPU which will support a lot more upgrade options. The stock AMD cooler is fine.

Also the AMD motherboard will support more future CPU upgrade options too.

And I'd get a slightly better wifi card

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll probably hold out till AMD release their new stuff and see how that affects the prices.
