Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB

Power Supply: Corsair TX750

Optical Drive: Asus 24X DVD Burner

Case: Raidmax Tornado ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case ATX-238WR

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

Thermal Paste: Arctic Silver AA-1.75G Thermal Compound Paste

Thanks.

Yes. You will need to add a PSU to power your system. Get a reliable ~500W-600W, at least 80+ efficient, Bronze from Seasonic, Corsair, or Antec.

edit: I see you have Arctic Silver on the list, are you going to get an aftermarket CPU cooler - maybe a CM Hyper 212+?

Nope. I'm going with the one that comes with the CPU.

The only thing I noticed is that on Newegg's listing for that case, it doesn't have Micro ATX boards as compatible, which that board you have seems to be. I see other cases that list micro ATX in their compatible listing so you might be limited on screw holes or something with that case. I would recommend finding a full size ATX board.

No reason to get a K model CPU if you are not going to overclock it. If you are going to overclock you will need an aftermarket cooler. The Hyper 212+ or Hyper 212 Evo are good budget options.

Save a few dollars on the power supply. Unless you plan on adding a second card in Sli you only need 500-550 watts. If you do plan on adding the second card keep the one you have picked out.

Here is a very good power supply for $55 after rebates.

If you plan on getting a cooler make sure the RAM you have picked out is low profile. 8GB is only a few dollars more and will help futureproof your build.

Low profile RAM. Also GSkill Ripjaws X is a few dollars cheaper and will also fit under an aftermarket cooler. Either way make sure it is 1.5v.
