Everything looks fine to me bud.I would however pick a different power supply as that one is not reliable it's a Tier 5 - Worst of the worst NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one.

They’re waaaaaaaaay faster and they draw less energy, but unfortunately they do cost a significant amount more than a traditional hard drive.

If you can swing it and have some extra budget laying around, I’d definitely suggest going with a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro .http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147192

get a better CPU cooler, that one won't cope up with Haswell's heat output
do not get a Thermaltake PSU, get one from Antec/Corsair/Seasonic/XFX in the 500-550W range for a single card and 750-800 if planning on adding a second
