Please tell me if you would change anything, but keep in mind I'd like to keep it at a very similar price or lower.
P.S. I'm buying in Serbia

get 2X4gb DDR3 dual channel ram kit instead of one 8gb ram stick
cooler master psu are crap ...get seasonic/xfx/antec/evga B2-G2/superflower 550W and up
what is your max budget?
what will be the use of your pc?

I went with 1x8gb so I can upgrade to 2x8gb in the future.
Regarding the psu please read my post here. Should I go with the antec one instead?
Let's say budget is $650, but prices here are different than in the States.
I'll use the pc for gaming (witcher, GTA V, WoW...) and programming (Java/C++...)

this psu is better ...but more expensive
if you are tight on budget keep the cooler master

for gta v i suggest the gtx 970 ...this is a very high demanding game

Here's a better priced, higher power and better quality psu just as an example.

You may or may not have issues adding other ram in the future, some people have had problems mixing ram. I've had pretty good luck even with different brands/speeds but your mileage may vary. I wouldn't worry about the issue of 1x8 vs 2x4gb, there's hardly any difference in performance.

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately the seasonic one is too exepnsive for me, and evga is impossible to find here. This is pretty much all you can find here. I checked everything on these sites: emmi, winwin, gigatron.
