1st Time PC Build

[Blueshift]

This is the first time I've attempted to put together and build a PC. I'm looking to get into some gaming. GTA V, Far Cry 4 and maybe some other fps. Since I've never done this before I'm looking for some opinions on my build from people a lot more experienced than I am. Also it's good to get a second pair of eyes in case I glanced over any compatibility issues (which I'm almost certain I didn't but just in case). Anyways, here it is. All parts are from newegg. A few notes, I am aware that I have a motherboard that supports overclocking and a CPU that doesn't. I just think the Z series chipsets are better motherboards. Also, the solid state drive is going to be nearly exclusively for my OS. Once again, I'm new to this and would appreciate any advice/opinions/concerns. Thanks!

generally good build, some comments;

unless you are overclocking (you can't with that CPU) or going for dual GPU (and need 2x PCIe 3.0 x8 slots), you don't need the Zxx mobo, although it does give you more options in the future.

GPU should be stronger, would recommend GTX770/R9-280(x).

Although the stock cooler is just adequate when not overclocking, it still gets hot and noticeably noisy due to the small fan, which spoils a nice quiet rig. I would recommend the $30 cooler master evo 212, near silent and very cool.

Yeah that's why I decided to stick with the Z series. I just felt like I wasn't seeing any good options with H series boards. Would the 770 be worth it? Is it that much stronger?

So I looked a little bit into the GTX770. Will my power supply be sufficient enough? The card requires 600 watt or greater power supply with a minimum of 42 amps on the +12 volt rail. And my power supply is 650W and can provide +12V@54A. I'm pretty sure it is supplying more than enough amps but is the wattage cutting it too close? I've been told that the power requirements on the spec sheets for graphics cards is for your graphics card+system not just the graphics card.
