couple of obvious things:
if you have a locked (non-K) CPU, there is no need for a Z97 motherboard, a cheaper H87 or even H81 will do.
corsair CX power supplies are a bit 'meh'. i would suggest something from tier 1 or 2 from the PSU tier list, link in sig.
an xfx p1 550w would be an excellent choice.
