The 7700K is kinda pointless without a Z270 board to take advantage of overclocking it.  If you aren't looking to OC, switch the CPU to a 7700 (non-k) and then you also won't need aftermarket cooling.

Not looking to overclock. Also, what's the difference between 7700K and 7700? Unlocked?

If you do decide to switch to a Z270 board, I'm a big fan of the Cryorig H7 cooler over the 212 EVO.  That's all just a matter of preference though.

Is this motherboard better?

Get a better psu, the NEX isn't very good. The B2, GQ and bitfenix fury would be better choices.

not much of an excuse when an air cooler less than half the price of a corsair h60 can beat it.
