It looks good to me, but you should run your build through http://www.pcpartpicker.com/It makes it easier to share builds, it will find you the best price for each piece of hardware, and will even report incompatibility issues to you!

I dont know if you chose CPL for a reason or not...but your identical build would run MUCH cheaper if you used other vendors. You could also get some decent upgrades if you wanted to use that budget anyways - For instance: you could get a 4690k for $15 less, an ASUS Z97 board same price, etc etc

Another option if vendor doesn't matter, at your original price range(well still lower, but you already purchased a graphics card):

It's up to you of course, but we can get you much better specs for the money if you wish. $1000 is more than enough to make something that far outstrips that.

2x4GB RAM if possible for dual channel.

 

Otherwise, great build!

 

More expensive than it should be..

Looks good, The Sapphire 260x might have a hard time to keep cool since it isnt a blower style cooler, But i dont think it would be too bad since it has a relatively low TDP.
