Necessary: a Phlips (regular) screwdriver.

Optional: anti static wrist band, tie rips/cable management strips and some more.

 

Critique on the build: is real good as far as I can see.

1. It will work, and it's good for the most part. Change out the PSU to an EVGA G2 650W or 850W, depending on if you plan on adding another card in. The RM series is expensive for what it is. 

2. A Phillips head screw driver and an anti static wrist strap (optional). Also, plenty of cable ties and a pair of snips to cut the ends off them are a good thing to have for cable management.

I would knock the PSU up to 850W, or down to 650W. The 750W PSU is sitting inbetween too much and too little for a single GPU system and a future dual 980Ti system.

Phillips screwdriver is the obvious answer, but I also like to keep a few different pairs of pliers. Not that you need a whole tool kit, but some needle nose pliers at least can be a huge help. A Leatherman multitool has quite literally everything you could need to build a PC.
