I am buying all the parts this week to finally build this. I have been researching and constantly updating this for months and I believe I reached my final verdict. I am going for a black and red theme inside with white LED fans on the outside with this specific case. It's on sale this week too yey! Any final critics on this build before I start buying?
So here is the build:

If you can afford a H87 mobo, it'd be better - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1150

The CX600 PSU is not very good. Get a Seasonic M12II 620 - $75 at Newegg

Instead of an USB Wifi Adapter, get a pcie one eg Asus N15

Better PSU, better motherboard, very similar GPU (or get the one you picked if you can afford), same spec RAM and it's still black ;)
