You should be getting a Z97 board, the Z87 board isn't going to support the 4790 without a bios update. If you want to OC I would suggest faster ram 1866 or 2133 with a low CAS. I hope you don't plan on running your OS on a 5400rpm it will be painfully slow. The WD green series is meant to be used as a storage drive not a boot drive. For $400 you should get a R9 290(with a non-reference cooler) not a 770. The Corsair CX series isn't very good, it used cheap secondary caps that have longevity issues.
