Thaty PSU is insane for that build! 

16GB is insane too! 

Take that money and get a better CPU.

I could be very wrong

What CPU cooler are you going to use (stock)? If so you wont need the thermal paste it comes pre-applied to the stock cooler.

Also, you have chosen the G3250 which is not an unlocked processor so you will not be able to over clock (no need for the z97 board). 

 

I would recommend at least getting the G3258, which is unlocked and overclockable.

 

If you can afford it, a quad core CPU will be benificial - something like the 4670K or 4690K. 

 

Good Luck, if you need any more help just ask the LTT forum is a great place for help.

Black and white themed build. Add custom water cooling components later.
 
Have to save you from your derpy-ness, and this is how. Properly kitted out this becomes a fucking sexy beast!
