Looks good to me. I would just change the mobo to one with a h87 chipset.

The build looks pretty good for no OC, though I would probably try to get a H87 motherboard. Also, make sure you are getting 2x4gb ram so they can run in dual channel mode.

aha, and which one specifically would you suggest? ASRock right?

-H87 Pro4
-H87 Performance
-H87M Pro4
-H87M
-H87 M-ITX

yes, i'm getting 2x4G RAM.

i just read that it's good to go with a ASUS motherboard along with Haswell procesors, so maybe ASUS H87M-PRO (C2) or something like this?

one of these maybe?

Probably the H87 pro 4 so you can get an ATX board rather than an mATX board. Asus and gigabyte also have good motherboards but are probably a bit more expensive.

would http://www.hardwareversand.de/DDR3/79849/ASRock+H87+Pro4%2C+Sockel+1150%2C+ATX.article be ok or maybe http://www.hardwareversand.de/DDR3/94006/ASUS+H87-PRO+%28C2%29.article ? is it worth the 28€ difference?

No, the AsRock will work fine.
