    The PSU is for future upgrades (a 600w one is good if you want), and if you want to overclock a little the 212 EVO will be good. When you have the money you should invest in a SSD.

    CPU:  Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($244.30 @ SuperBiiz)  why not 4670k and overclock? 1. 30$ is only cpu cooler. and it cant oc much anyway. 4.3 i usual overclock. also youd have to pay more for z87. performance wise, its like 4770 without iGPU

    Motherboard:  Gigabyte GA-B85-HD3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($84.99 @ Amazon) Not cheaping out on mobo ofc. It supports this xeon, checked.
    Memory:  A-Data XPG V1.0 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($32.99 @ Newegg)
    Memory:  A-Data XPG V1.0 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($32.99 @ Newegg) 2 sticks of 1600 ram, nothing to say here. cheapest 2x4
    Storage:  Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($59.66 @ OutletPC) yup
    Video Card:  Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB Video Card  ($239.99 @ Newegg) 770 is 90$ more, so i said nahhh, those 384 more shading units not worth 40% more money. 760 has 1152 shading units.
    Case:  Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case  ($59.99 @ NCIX US) Yup, i decided with this mainly because airflow and quality. 2 front fans included 1 back. Amazing case. Looks ballers too.
    Power Supply:  XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($49.99 @ NCIX US) I wont recommend CX line of psus Those 10 bucks are not worth the risk, nor the noise, nor quality.
    Total: $804.90

    Are you familiar with rebate process right?
    Is that what you wanted to see of the build? Would you like to change something?
