If you overclocking the cpu, you need a Z97 motherboard as well. You might as well go with i5 4690k.
Cooler Master 212 EVO is a decent cpu cooler.
EVGA B2 750W is a decent power supply which is much better than Corsair CX 750 psu. CX series are not great.
R9 280 performs slightly better than a GTX 760 and has more potential if you overclock it.
