If at all any changes required, I suggest the following:

GIGABYTE GA-H81M-HD3 instead of ASUS H81M-D Plus, as it has better on-board audio, with six audio ports in the rear, costs almost the same...

Why Gigabyte Motherboards?

Because they make stable, durable and performance oriented products with lowest RMAs. See the images below:

What is RMA?

Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) is a part of the process of returning a product in order to receive a refund, replacement, or repair during the product's warranty period.

Also if possible, get the MSI R9 280X instead of XFX R9 280X. If MSI not available stick with XFX, which is still a decent brand.

Other parts are fine, stick with them.

Cheers!
