Are you gaming on it or are you rendering and such?

Not sure about the CPU cooler and I would go with a RM650 or other 650W PSU, but that's just me, I don't think I'd build a computer with a PSU that wasn't at least 25% over what I thought my peak load would be, just in case you add drives, fans, the thing ages, etc.

 

EDIT: if you aren't rendering you don't need hyperthreading, and an i5 is still slightly cheaper than that xeon plus you can overclock to make it faster for basic computing and games.
