Compatible but that H60 will do nothing for an overclocked i5. If you want to overclock or not is up to you, you can save money by getting locked processors and a different board for it.

Looks like its a pre-built rig which isn't too bad except you would save money by building yourself.

so is overclocking a better thing to do as it will speed up my comp but have a shorter lifespan and require a watercool upgrade or will it be fine and run games on ultra setting and be able to livestream games with ease? (also if so can u recommend a water cooler upgrade)

a small OC (which is what the pathetic H60 will do) isn't worth it.
The i5 4670K is standard at 3.4GHz, anything above 4 will be noticeable. SO if you want to OC you will need a better cooler.
