CPU: Changed to Xeon 1230 V3, I always recommend this CPU for professional users that do not overclock. This CPU is rated very similar to i7-4770K, but just without integrated GPU and not good for overclock. However, both factors do not concern you.

PSU: Upgraded to Antec HCG-620M, very high quality and...
