Couple of notes:
- Since you won't be overclocking you probably won't need a aftermarket cooler. If you want one anyways grab this one (also if you are going liquid cooled, it should be a decent one. otherwise it is much better to go air cooled) :

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.99 @ Micro Center)
Total: $29.99

- There are better quality PSUs available for about the same cost of the corsair cx series which is ok but not great and has some low quality parts in it.

I would do this:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($247.99 @ NCIX)...

If you can't afford the extra for the gtx 760 then at the very least use the power supply posted in my build.
