Good quality PSU manufacturer, it will be fine and power your system as norm. If you are thinking on adding a second graphics card or using multiple drives then you may nee to consider acquiring a PSU with more watts, but for this system it is fine. You can use this calculator to work out how many watts your system will consume and what the recommend PSU wattage is,

The PSU gets a 9.5 jonnyguru rating so you're good there

But I can't say it any better than this reviewer did here:

I don’t think there’s any compelling reason to move from an Ivy Bridge or even a Sandy Bridge based system to a Haswell system– there simply isn’t enough performance and feature differential to justify it. On the other hand, if you’re building a new rig from scratch, there’s little point in investing in end-of-life platforms, so going Haswell/Z87 makes sense.
