Hey guys, this is my first question here, so I'd like to start off by saying thank you for all the amazing support you guys give people, you really are good people.
Now lets get to the question.
I plan on building a new PC entirely. My current one is starting to run slow, and many of the components are dying so I think it's time to build a new one. This will be my first build on my own, I regretfully bought my last one pre-purchased and overpaid tremendously because I was rather uneducated about computers in general (And still am). So here's my current list of parts (for my new build).
So do I need any more parts than this? If so what parts, and which parts would you recommend? Is there any parts here that I can cut back on to save money and lose little to no performance (I want the same case/CPU cooler/RAM, but most other stuff is up for changes)?

PSU - CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready (Sorry about the length, I wasn't sure about what I should list for a CPU name so I just listed what Newegg posted it as)

HDD Western Digital WD Blue 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM

About my compatibility concerns, will all this be compatible? And if anybody has a NZXT Phantom 820 w/ a Noctua NH-D14 how does it fit? I know the RAM will fit under the noctua, but I'm not sure whether to not it will fit in the case, although I do expect it will. If it does fit well, how is the Noctua for cooling? From what I hear it's the best air cooler there is, but I want some opinions from other people who own them too.
Once again, thank you to everybody on Tomshardware who help people with their tech.
