Change you SSD to a Crucial M500, its much cheaper and you won't see a performance difference. For the GPU get a GTX 770 instead.

Looks good to me.

Bluray necessary? For the difference in price between a dvd and bluray could you get a decent cooler.

Seems OK

Maybe change the Z87 to Z97 - good review - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/mainstream-gaming-z97-motherboard,3824.html

cpu cooler? try coolermaster hyper 212 evo or a noctua

 

[Mr_inflexible]

Also get a Z97 not a Z87.

A review,

about equal performance.

Would 750w supply be plenty for OC?

 

[i7Baby]

More than plenty. You only need 600W. You could get the HCG 620M
