It's a pretty nice build. I'm not sure about the storage... Just get a 1tb wd blue or something along those lines.

The PSU isn't one of the highest quality PSUs, but it'll work in the system. If you're going to overclock a bit, it's recommended to go with a slightly higher quality PSUs. There's a nice deal on an XFX 650w psu right now where it's 50$ after Mail in Rebate, down from 70$. it'll be overkill for this system with the 750Ti you have, but it'll give you plenty of headroom for future and overclocking space.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to get for storage, so I just went with the one that had pretty good reviews, I'll change that, as for the GPU I think I'll just go for the normal version rather than the superclocked since it is already a pretty good one (Plus I can overclock it later). I will also find a better PSU, thanks for this!

It won't work, the motherboard won't work with that CPU.

No problems. What is you goal for the build? Is it for gaming or rendering/editing? If it's for gaming, what games and settings are you hoping to achieve?

I'd also stay away from the CX PSU's. For not much more at all you can get a much better quality PSU from XFX, SeaSonic, Rosewill Capstone, Antec HCG or Neo Eco.
