Your psu is overkill for the build unless you plan to SLI later. 500W is sufficient

If you plan to overclock you should get the i5-4570K. The K means you can overclock it. If not you can get a cheaper motherboard.

I would add an SSD around 120GB. It won't increase any numbers but the speed of booting will make you happy.

Everything looks good, except the USB Network adapter. I would suggest a PCIe adapter like the TP-LINK TL-WN881ND or maybe the N600. and for $15 more you can have a Blu-ray/DVDRW drive

hold on they have a gold 550w unit and I accidentally deleted build. Just don't get oc mobo without oc processor, for that price you want at least a 770 and an ssd.

Without the ssd in this build and 1400 usd you could get gtx 780 if you wanted.

ingston Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum. Whats this?
