The build looks good. I would change a few things though. I would go with the 520W Seasonic PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094
I would go with this PSU because of 2 reasons:
1. Seasonic is one of the best PSU manufacturers out there
2. It is 80+ bronze certified while the Corsair CX500 was only 80+ certified.

I would also change the motherboard if you're going to CF/SLI in the future:
ASRock 970 EXTREME4

The only change was that the PCIe slots were at x8 x8 which is more ideal for CF than the MSI x16 x4

Also last, but not least...the RAM...since I see you're going with AMD CPU and AMD gpu, why not go with cheaper AMD RAM?
