Since you have a K-series unlocked CPU, you might want to go for a Z-series motherboard (Z170) since with those you can get overclocking.

Perhaps get an NZXT or Corsair liquid cooler?

Red black and white works pretty well. It's just that I have no idea about the brand, reliability and etc. so I would not personally go down that route.

I would still lean towards a better CPU cooler from Corsair.
