psu could be a little better - like corsair rmx or evga g2 better - but it's not that bad i guess - you may want to look at sandisk ssds - they are a little slower than kingston but very reliable and cheaper - don't really understand why you're using the r9 280x but if you already bought it then i guess it'll have to do

An H110, B150, or H170 chipset motherboard would be acceptable. Unless the Z170 PC Mate is the less expensive option, choose one of those.

 

While Raidmax is not known for quality psu, there is little point in getting a second psu. Especially a 750w unit.
