First of all I think you should get 3.5" HDD, not a 2.5", and a 1TB one, not a 750GB, like this one: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd1002faex
Then, get a better CPU cooler, like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO:http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2
About the PSU, buy a XFX one, they have great quality: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9
And finally, I think you should invest in a better motherboard, because that one is a bit low end and will not have many overclock options, and you will want to overclock that CPU. I personally like this one very much: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99fxpror20

Hope I helped :)
