You shouldn't really get I7 unless you want true performance.
I5 4670k works best for gaming.
Also, if you're aiming for a good SSD manufacturer, give the samsung evo 840 a try.

Yes to both, and you should get 8gb of ram instead. Also for the motherboard (personal preference) i'd go with the Asus Z87 A(SLI).

Don't get a Corsair cx500m. Get a XFX TS 550w. It can handle a gtx770.

This is what I would go for. CPU cooler is optional as you can not overclock.
