Would you switch out any parts? My main concern is the PSU. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to buy one with higher wattage just in case I decide to buy a second GPU to SLI. And will the stock case fans and the Noctua heatsink be enough to overclock safely?

Oops. Sorry guys. Here is the link to the build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bNyWbv

you can go for something like this, maybe change the case if you want and buy extra case fans for cooling, Changed the CPU and motherboard to the newer generation and went for the hyper 212 evo cu cooler which is good enough for medium overclocking, you wont really need to overclock much anyways, stock speed is good enough for gaming.
you can also go for a cheaper powersupply but it wont be a modular.
went for a better graphics card, the tri cooler is decent for the 290.
