Every PC I've ever had has been a beast of metal so i thought it was time for a change of pace.

I want to build a small form factor overclock-able gaming PC.

Here's the specs:

Case: Aerocool Dead Silence Cube

MoBo: ASRock Z87M Extreme 4

Cpu: i5 4670k

Cpu Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212X

RAM: 2x4 GB G.Skill Ares

Graphics card: Galaxy GeForce GTX 780 GC 3GB OR an R9 290 When the custom coolers come out

Storage: 1TB Seagate Barracuda

PSU: Corsair GS-700 V2

Additional Cooling: I'll probably put some Noctua fans in

That is all the important stuff.

I do intend on doing a bit of overclocking.

Will this system work with what i intend on using it for?

If you see anything wrong please tell me.

if you get a r9 290 (with some sort of custom cooler) you will still save some money compared to the gtx 780, with that you can afford an SSD and still be under your budget limit

Nice build. I suggest a seasonic, xfx or a HX (or higher) corsair PSU. I also suggest a WD 1TB Blue drive because seagate drives have a high(er) tendency to fail.
The system is a little overkill for what you are going to be doing but thats ok.
I highly suggest you get an SSD!!!!! Something like a 120GB or 250GB Samsung evo / crucial m500 would be great.

Australia gets some alright prices.
You have been an awesome help, I have achieved a good value price point and the system will still do everything i need.
(Maybe the R9 290's with custom coolers will revive the BF4 bundle.)
