Great build.your build is basically the same as mine. i would suggest you get a deacent cooling system, prefferbly watercooling as you overclocking you CPU if you arnt then not nessasary but then get a diffrent CPU.. for your SSD try the 850 pro 128gb or the 250gb evo both really good. For ram kingston is good quality and you could upgrade to a 1866GHz or a 2400GHz it will just be nice see that you have a nice budge. heres another sexy tower.

If I don't feel comfortable over-clocking my cpu, what would be a good one to go with?

If you don't want to overclock, just get yourself an i5 4690 and use the extra money on a case with better features. The 200R is a very aesthetically pleasing case, but some of the features are lacking (cable management, sound dampening).

Otherwise, the build looks great!

How about the Zalman Z11 PLUS?
