This is easily the best PSU available under 100.00 right now, aside from the 850w version of the EVGA G2, and certainly the absolute best price on a very high end PSU. It does include a 30.00 mail in rebate however, so the initial investment might be more than you want to pay, but it's WELL worth the money even without the rebate.

Otherwise, if EVGA is the brand of choice, go for the B2 series. It's still like 89.99...

Everything looks pretty good. Just make sure you choose the EVGA B2 series PSU and not the B1, W1 or N1 models.

You'll probably want to get at least one additional 120mm and one additional 140mm case fan, preferably PWM, as that case does not come with all the fan locations populated. I also don't see an aftermarket CPU cooler with your list of components so I'm assuming you either need one or don't plan to overclock. If you're not going to overclock, you don't need a K series cpu or a Z series motherboard. A non K cpu and H97 motherboard would be fine.

If you do plan to overclock, I'd recommend at least a Hyper 212 EVO for light overclocking, something like a Noctua NH-U14S for medium to heavy overclocking and a Noctua NH-D14, D15 or something equivalent for extreme overclocking. Medium overclocking being considered as 4-4.5Ghz, anything over that being considered as extreme, anything below that as light.

Otherwise, if EVGA is the brand of choice, go for the B2 series. It's still like 89.99 with a 20.00 rebate.

Aside from those, any Tier 2B or higher unit of 550w or more from the following list would be fine:
