I would recommend getting 1600Mhz RAM instead. Corsair Vengeance is good RAM.

If you wanna play all recent games on Ultra you should get a better graphics card.

http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu/#s=12&f=40&sort=d1

for overclocking get 4690k, if not get the 4690 or 4590.
go for a z97 motherboard to support those CPUs
you can change the case back to what you wanted, just gave an example, but do go with 2 ram stocks for daul channel, which is better speed, 2x4 rather than 1x8
the hhd is the same performance, just $5 cheaper

290 graphics card will do the job for you, so more budget for the cpu

looks very solid, just one issue, the graphics card is long and maybe not fit in that case, am not sure if the drive cage is removable or not, so make sure of that.

The 300R and 450D are both mid towers so they can easily house any component
