Looks pretty good. Only thing that I would change is the power supply unit. The corsair cx series uses some lower quality components so I would swap it out for something better quality at roughly the same price.

This is a good option:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Power Supply: Antec High Current Gamer 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($69.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $69.99
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

Also XFX and seasonic make great psus. Corsair AX/HX series are also awesome, just stay away from the cx if you can.

Edit: 620w is more...

Edit: 620w is more than enough for this system, if you plan to SLI (dual gpu) then I would say 750w-850w but I would prefer 850w

the upper CX psu's use decent parts (numanator is thinking the 430 and 500 i'm sure), but i would still probably switch it out on such a nice PC. The HX and TX series are pretty good, but XFX/Seasonic PSU's are pretty universally awesome, besides that, i'd say good job.
