I believe you've put up an amazing rig here.
The MSI Z87-GD65 is a brilliant mobo for overclocking.
Secondly, the PSU is good enough to drive the whole rig. However, I personally would have gone for a 750W.

Overall, wikid rig. May I ask which full tower cabinet did you go for.

Cheers!

What a coincidence, I was planing to get that brilliant full tower for my next build! :) 

This is the video showcasing the components that went into my current rig.
