Nice combo! I love the 350D case. Actually picked one up myself.

As for your choices, I only have two things to point out.

First, RAM: The 4670k natively supports 1600 Mhz RAM, so you might as well take advantage of that rather than getting 1333 Mhz.

Second, PSU: Get the best combination of high wattage with the best 80+ certification you can budget. If you want to expand, having only 550w will get in the way eventually. That cooler master (if I'm not mistaken) isn't certified at all. Plus, you'll want something that has a "continuous" wattage rating rather than a "max" wattage rating. Since you're spending more than $1,000 on your build, you don't want to trust all that fancy equipment to a budget PSU. That's the one place to not skimp.
