I'm about to purchase all the parts in one or two weeks time, but I need your advice, if I've made the correct choices. I'm going for a really silent gaming pc and I'm not considering overclocking until broadwell processors, maybe then I'll give up on silent option. I'm expecting this rig to play latest games on 1080p with ultra/high settings.

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-SLI
Processor: Intel Core i5 4690
Ram: GSkill Sniper (2x4GB) 1600MHz Cl9
Graphics Card: Powercolor r9 280x Turboduo
Storage: WD Caviar Blue 1Tb + Samsung EVO 250 Gb
PSU: Corsair CX750
Case: Cooler Master Silencio 650 Pure

These will all add up to 1400$ where I live. I'm eager to hear for your responses and your possible suggestions.

Thank you so much in advance.
 
Get a H97 mobo. Cheaper because it won't overclock.

Get 1866 ram for a few dollars more

A R9 280x only needs 600W. The Corsair CX power supplies have had multiple problems reported on this forum. Get a better quality one eg Seasonic 620, XFX 650 or Antec HCG 620M

I might overclock when broadwells come around that's why I chose a z97 mobo.

I've found some Kingston HyperX Beast RAM's that are 2133 MHz CL11 for 10$ more, should I go with that? CL11 looks bad to me I don't know.

Thank you for your PSU suggestions.
