Made a few changes
no need for a $100 PSU
Changed the GPU to a non reference version
added a better cooler for Haswell chops

The 212 evo works wonders for AMD CPU's, but if you want overclocking on a Haswell CPU (Intel's newer micro architecture) the you will want something that is a bit more efficient at cooling. Haswell chips get very toasty and I wouldn't want to overclock on one with Intel.

As for the PSU, choose this

I'd go for a build like this, as you cannot spend that much money without a big SSD and it works out around the same price. You get a better power supply with this build, however i believe if you can get the case cheaper from NCIX i'd do that, otherwise pricing from Newegg is good on this occasion.
