B1 series PSUs aren't particularly good and 750W is unnecessary for you. Try a Rosewill Capstone G650 instead.

I'm not one to judge people's taste in CPU coolers, but I have to warn you that the one you want to get isn't very quiet.

CPU is a bit overkill. Go for a 4690k (or better yet switch entirely to Skylake and go for a 6600k, Z170 motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM) and put the money saved from there into a better GPU (also don't get either a GTX 970 or GTX 980 now as Pascal will hit the market in 2 days).

Also consider adding an SSD. A 120GB one will be fine for just the OS and basic programs, but I'd recommend at least 240GB so you can put a few slow-loading games on it. Some games even have issues when they're not installed on...

Some games even have issues when they're not installed on SSD (such as Fallout 4) because they can't load stuff fast enough as you're playing, resulting in FPS drops.
