Yes.

 

You could get lower speed memory, say DDR3-1600 (or 1866) CL 9 and wouldn't notice the difference in gaming and general use.

 

The psu you have is good quality but 550W is more than enough for the build.

 

You might want to wait a couple of weeks and get the i5-4690K.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

To add to the memory thing you can buy 1600mhz memory cheaper, then overclock it to nearly the same speed as 2133 (or more in some cases). You wont notice a difference either way.
