Anything that I am missing guys, or that I should change?
 
Hi,
I agree nice build.

1) I recommend the Cooler Master Hyper Evo for a CPU cooler, unless you have the budget for the quieter Noctua:
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/noctua-cpu-cooler-nhu12s

Whatever cooler you get, you want a PWM fan. To be clear, the stock CPU fan will get quite annoying while gaming, the CM will be quieter but not silent, and the Noctua will be essentially silent provided you setup the motherboard fan control software properly.

2) You don't need more than a 650W PSU to overclock your graphics card.
 
Update on power:

A typical system with that card uses 372W total, and the graphics card itself 254W:

The power supply you linked can provide 636W on the 12V bus (CPU and graphics card) so there is plenty of available power to overclock.

*Having said that, since most power supplies start to ramp up the fan at 50 to 55%, and your overclock might bring you as high as 75% load, a 750W PSU of similar quality should be slightly QUIETER.
