Does my potential build have anything that should be changed for performance for about the same price?

Are you sure NZXT Performance Power PSU is Haswell compatible? This is a good option:

I'm not sure i didn't pay much attention. Any alternatives you can recommend?

I will be overclocking everything in my build and possibly sli in the future, can this psu support these needs?

This is a tier 1 650W psu. Its good enough for any single gpu gaming build. This is his "older brother" for a SLI build

Can you spend more? This would be a great option for a modular PSU:

You don't mention what DRAM - would go 1866/9 or even 2133/9 - also on the H60 can save some some money and get better cooling out of a Hyper 212 EVO, basically takes at least a H100 to beat the EVO cooling wise
