If you can spare 30 dollars more get this gpu. Its much better.

Also, any reason you chose a full tower over a mid tower case?

Get rid of the aftermarket cooler as the stock cooler will serve you perfectly fine. That CPU isn't intended for overclocking and you won't anyway because of the H97 motherboard. I would switch the SSD for a Samsung 840 EVO or Intel. Case is all preference so if you like that then go for it, but a cheaper one would allow for better parts. I highly recommend you get a far cheaper keyboard (Microsoft Sidewinder X4 has good reviews) and you don't need extra fans.

It's not that bad.I understand the urge for a nice case,but i change some things including case to get a r9 280X in for the same price,my choice of case is imo still a very good one.

@ Vic 40's suggestion
I would highly recommend switching the Rosewill PSU for Antec, XFX, EVGA, Seasonic or Corsair HX, AX or TX. The best PSUs to get are Tier 1, 2a or 2b. If you can, get an ASUS or Sapphire GPU as those are the highest quality ones. Get rid of the extra fans and I highly recommend getting a cheaper keyboard. Also, the CPU comes with a stock cooler. There is no reason to get the 212 EVO as the CPU temperatures will be perfectly fine and it'll become outdated long before it dies.

A different list,
http://eggxpert.com/eggxpert/computer_hardware/f/135081/t/45344.aspx
look under tier 2.
For just $25 is the evo a good choice if you can afford it.I've read that when the cpu get's stressed for a longer period like gaming it still can get hot with the stock cooler,so why not use an after market one.
The keyboard is indeed expensive.

Club 3d is a good brand for gpu's.
