I'm assuming that you do not want to overclock. Accordingly, you can go to a non K CPU, and a H97 motherboard. You could drop down a couple of notches in the CPU for very little noticeable difference, but I understand why you might want the fastest. An extra 100MHz is less than 3% improvement.

Another power supply would be a lot better. XFX or Seasonic and you could go with PRO XPS-550W-SEW ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply (110 V AC, 220 V AC Input Voltage - 1 Fans - Internal - ATI CrossFire Supported - NVIDIA SLI Supported)

if it were me, i'd be shaving some off the cpu and putting more toward a better gpu to a gtx770 or r9 280x... unless you planned to sli 760's in the future or something.

It is unusual in a gaming oriented machine to spend more on the CPU than the GPU 40:60 or even 33:66 is more common.

Do you really need a monitor of that quality/price with this system?

I'd be spending my money on the core CPU, PSU, GPU, and motherboard. With a bit of jiggering, you could get a GTX970 (If you can find one)

If you do want to overclock then you certainly need a better power supply. I'm not familiar with the 620W model, but the rest of their range is great, so I assume that it would be too.

EDIT: Found a good review.

If you want to overclock, you might need an even better CPU cooler and you could consider faster memory too, but then the budget starts to rise.
