First the cpu cooler. I do not think that corsair is good. Better buy is corsair H100i or good aircooler.
This is really good ,and silent air cooler. http://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-BW-Support-Socket-Driver/dp/B008YTUN38

PSU this is now better buy than corsair Tx. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-capstone750m

SSD this is better buy now. Bigger and fast enough. More reliable MLC chip.

Memory. Crucial is good cheaper memory. And for gaming 8GB is enough.

MoBo. If you want that MSI because nice look it is fine. Gigabyte X-D3H is cheaper and reliable OC mobo.

More HDD room.

For pure gaming you can downgrade the cpu to 4670k. If want to make build cheaper.

And then you will have really good balance gaming build. Best parts for that money.
Here is build.
