I would recommend you change the case. Give me a sec to find a good case.

 

EDT: Go with the Bitfenix Prodigy M, http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_1532&products_id=24730. Nice looking case and on the same site.

Little point in getting an unlocked (K) cpu with an H87 motherboard.

 

Love the case.

 

Instead of the H55 cooler I'd suggest an air tower like the Noctua NH-U14S or NH-U12S - both are designed not to interfere with tall memory.

 

It would be good if you could get a GTX 770 into the build.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

It may be now, it wasn't when I looked at it. That or I'm going blind.

 

It would be a better gpu in some minds. But I would stick with the GTX. I don't know if you can buy it :) .

 

A few benchmarks to look at: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1037?vs=1043.
