PSU: What is the wattage? & if you plan to Crossfire, I would recommend the Corsair 750TX or Antec EarthWatts EA-750 PSU's, which will give you Crossfire support.
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
Heatsink: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus - You'll want one of these if you are wanting to overclock.

I have one question when do you plan on doing this build, if its within the next couple weeks I'd stick with the haf 922/932 however if its going to be a bit longer I'd consider waiting for the Haf x series... which from what I've seen is gonna be around the same price.

Edit: The Haf X is expected to be released on May 25th
