Get an i5 4690k instead - http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-970-GAMING-4G/dp/B00NN0GE...

Get 2 x 4gb 1866 cl9 1.5V loow profile ram instead for about the same price.

Try an ASRock Z97 Extreme 6 instead per http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/enthusiast-z97-moth...

Consider a MSI Gaming GTX970 instead per http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/enthusiast-z97-moth...
$360 - http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-970-GAMING-4G/dp/B00NN0GE...

With that PSU you can later add a second.

Otherwise - very nice build

get a gtx 970, an i5 4690k, and a maximus vii hero motherboard. i suggest a 250gb samsung 840 evo ssd and a 1tb WD blue. if you plan on overclocking get a better cooler such as a water cooler.
