Pretty similar to my system.

I see you are getting a 'k' cpu, do you plan on overclocking? If so, you'll need some type of after market cooling. If you don't plan on overclocking, then you don't need 'the 'k' type cpu as that is what they are specifically designed for.

I'd also consider a bigger SSD if you feel the need to get one at all. Mine has 40gb used already, and that's just the OS plus anything I may have accidentally downloaded on it (I don't have any games installed on it). Mine is a 128Gb. Also, take a look at samsung, they're pretty much the top of the pile for SSDs right now.

You have the budget, get the Haswell Cpu and Z87 motherboard. The Psu is a little more money, but a slightly better quality and 50w higher, with modular cables. Larger SSD and much better quality too. The case is very good, but if you don't like it you can always tweak the build to accommodate the case you want. The motherboard is also SLI capable since you are getting an nVidia video card.

Nice bonus then, as you can squeeze a considerable amount of performance out of a 'k' type cpu. If not now, then down the road. Just note that when/if it does come time to overclock (and that cpu will be begging you to overclock it), you will need to invest in better cooling.
