Nice sale price on the CPU.
I suspect you don't even need that much cooler on a non-K Intel: Look up a Rosewill RCX-ZAIO-92
Memory is way too slow: Get the G.Skill stuff at the same price, a couple of posts up.
I think you can trim some cash out of that PSU: What card do you think you'll get, later, that will require so many Watts in an Intel build?

is this the RAM you speak of: http://pcpartpicker....317000cl9d8gbxm
if so: The G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.
in any case:

I was even gon'a a third Masscool on the underside of the motherboard (which may still be a good idea,) but then I'd have needed an extra 0.1A out of the 12V rail, which ment Teh Cheapest Gold Plus PSU In Teh World would have been out of the picture.
