It depends on your inclination towards performance vs aesthetics .
Max perfromance -> h81/91 based board with an SSD 256gb (so that games can easily fit in Ssd with windows)
medium performance with some aesthetics -> h97 PC mate / gigabyte h97 d3h or other entry level board with 128Gb SSD
max aesthetics-> MSI H97-Gaming 3 Motherboard with additional CPU fans and a PSU powered LED unit sets.

Also seasonic is a more reputed brand than Corsair , since seasonic manufactures corsair High end series . But If you have better corsair Support for warranty in your region, go for it.
And a Single 8 gb unit is advised , since it is cheaper , while the performance improvements are less than 10% , that too only for Ram intensive tasks ,and gaming is really not one of these. Also it gives the option of dual channelling for 16Gb ram when you want in the future.

That is a very nice build. Might not qualify as "future" though. To maximize performance buy an SSD, they are dirt cheap these days. Also get a BETTER PSU. If you ever need to upgrade the gpu, 650 watts won't cut it. Also, the CS/CX series are not very well built. Perhaps an RM 750 would be better, or maybe a Seasonic M12II-750.
