Either you get a non-k version of the i7 or get a z97 motherboard. A platinum PSU is pointless. And if you're not planning on having multiple cards a good 550-650w psu will do just fine.

The parts themselves are compatible for the most part. It's just the minor things that are money killers right now.

Like what Calnin said, if your gonna be using a k chip than get a z motherboard not a h so you can actually use the CPU and its advantages at overclocking. As for the PSU, if you have the money than why not get it, your going to be running expensive components anyways and its good to not have to worry about the PSU and zero upgrade issues but that is up to you. Other than that the build looks great. The CPU is awesome i have one my self :)
