All looks good to me apart from the Noctua and PSU:
Are you using this CPU cooler due to noise concerns? Just asking since the CPU comes with a cooler already and it's fine for non-K CPU ie. the Noctua is overkill if your only concern is cooling, noise may be a different matter.
And I could be mistaken but I think you can use 500W and save a bit more there, check Nvidia or card maker's site for minimum PSU watts. I know I can power a GTX 980 using 500W.
Also as your likely aware video card prices are tumbling and will tumble more atm due to new Nvidia GPU's just being released and AMD releasing a new budget GPU July 29th which represents a considerable bang for buck proposition. If possible wait to buy video card.
