-You will be fine with i5 4670k, you will not see any improvement in games with i7 4770k, and it is almost £80 more expensive than the i5.
-8GB of RAM is perfect for gaming.
-Avoid Corsair's CX units, get at least TX or higher, or something else from XFX, Antec or SeaSonic in the range of 550-600w
-There are many low profile coolers for the CPU, such as Phanteks PH-TC14CS or Noctua NH-L12
 
Awesome cooler, great case, and a 780 that will last you a good long while lol
