First Build.. need your thoughts

Bazurite

Hi all, after my GCSE's I am going to be building my first gaming PC on a budget of about £900 (small right). I have made plans from watching Linus tips, and NCIX, but would like some thoughts on the components I plan on getting. 

 

Components:

Case: Black BitFenix Prodigy M (mATX)

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670, Haswell

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760, superclocker 2GB, rear exhaust, EVGA

Mother Board: Gigabyte Killer GA-Z87-G1. Sniper M5 (mATX)

CPU Cooler: be quiet! Shadow Rock 2 CPU Cooler

RAM: Corsair Memort Vengeance, Low Profile , 8GB (2x4GB) 1600 MHz

Hard Drive: 1TB, probably Western Digital, unsure still

Power Supply: 550W Corsair Enthusiast Series Modular, 80 PLUS Bronze ( will probably change to semi-modular)

 

Cooling:

Top: 2x 120mm BitFenix fans (included with case) (intake)

Back: 1x 140mm BitFenix Spectre Pro (exhaust)

Bottom: 1x 230mm BitFenix Spectre Pro (intake)

Font: Power Supply intake

 

Peripherals

Mouse: Razer Taipan (already own)

Keyboard: Simple Lenovo, until I get a mechanical (probs Razer Black Widow 2014, with Razer Silent keys)

Monitor: Still looking for a nice one for about £100-£140 

 

Main Questions:

Should I get a different CPU?

Should I get a different motherboard?

Do I need the Vengeance RAM?

Could someone recommend me a monitor, or Power Supply, I would prefer a semi-modular as it is a small case, but am up for any suggestions. 

 

Thank for the taking the time to listen to me ramble on, any advice or comments will come in super handy.

if only gaming then the 4670k is fine but for video editing then 4770k is best because of the extra cores and i have heard good thing about that board,
