The build is fine, although I would definitely go with the 4690K and z97 motherboard instead, if it isn't too much of a stretch.

EVGA, if you live in the us get Sapphire's R9 280, they pretty much cost the same as 760 but higher performance. Also if you are happy with Haswell and not gonna give a damn about broad well then that CPU mono is fine

My current rig for entertainment/gaming: i5 4570 3,2GHz; MSI B85M-E45; ZOTAC GTX760 AMP!; 8GB (2x4GB) by Kingston; Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm; Corsair 200R, Corsair VS650; Dell U2312HM, Samsung DVD R/W optical drive; CM Devastator; Corsair MM400 gaming pad

The hell should a non-reference card have problem with motherboards from other manufactures.

If get z97 because devils canyon are cooler and oc more consistently. I wouldn't give two shits about broadwell since it will be 5% better than haswell, at best.
