you could get 1600 instead and save a couple bucks or if you got it for a good deal. Besides that it looks good put it all in pcpartpicker.com to see what kinds of deals you can get.

every thing looks fine but get a 4670k and go for a R9 280x video card instead.  Also get a 1tb caviar blue its only like $5 more.  For your power supply I would recommend you step up to the evga 600watt if you are going for the 280x video card
