Hello, I'm from India and I am building a new gaming rig. I have selected almost all components. They are:
Intel I5 4670k
Stock cpu cooler for now aftermarket later
Galaxy Nvidia gtx 650gc 2gb gddr5 gpu(already have it)
Corsair vengeance ddr3 1600mhz 8gb ram
Nzxt guardian 921 rb cabinet blue
Seagate barracuda 1tb hdd(already have it)
Corsair cx750m psu
I have a couple of questions.
1. Can i trust amazon.com to deliver these components as its the only place where they were available at good prices?
2. I plan to overclock and i need a good mobo for that. My budget for that is upto 115$(7000₹ approx) and it should match the blue colour scheme(all black or grey would do but no yellow red etc) and pcie 3.0 x16 only 1 would do.
3. My hdd is from my old pc would it still have my windows 7 ultimate 64bit installed with all games and stuff or would i have to do it all again.
4. I'm not into used stuff so only new products for me.
5. I plan to switch to a gigabyte gtx760 windforce or a sapphire r9 270x soon( depends on wether or not my geforce experience works)
6. Which optical drive should i choose(more so from which comp)?
7. The psu has dimensions 150x86x160 would it fit in my cabinet?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

1/ as much as you can trust anyone
2/You need a board with a Z87 chip set .
3/ you will need to reinstall everything , and unless your version of win 7 is an expnsive retail copy you will not be able to activate it on the new motherboard
4/ good for you
5/good for you , but for those cards you only need a 500 watt psu so why buy a 750 watt model ?
6/DVD drives are pretty much all the same as far as I can see . Buy a cheap one . That way you wont feel you were ripped off when you throw it away in a few years time
7/An ATX power supply always fits an ATX case

My w7 is a retail copy. No worry on that one:) 
I'll reconsider the psu and go for something cheaper.
But which z87 mobo should i buy?
