the motherboard u decided to buy has the h67 chipset which does not support overclocking and the processor the i5 2500k is an overclockable processor so get a p67 or z68 chipset based motherboard if u want to be able to overclock your processor, otherwise if you want to stick with the motherboard then buy a proc that doesnt have overclocking and is cheaper

You shouldn't go with i5-2500k if you budget doesn't permit. Pairing a 'K' series with H67 will be a waste as you have a GPU. Better option for 'k' series proccy is Z68 or P67. But both of these boards will go beyond your budget by 2-3k.
Better go with:
Intel i5-2400 -- 9.3k
Intel DH67BL-B3 -- 5.7k
Total ---- 16k

Rest is fine but i would suggest for NZXT GAMMA case excellent and worth budget case. Its so cool and splendid look with 6 fans option . Usually only cases arround 6-8k gives that option. You can choose senetry 2 when you are planning for all fans while upgrading gpu. Until the fans which ever your board support should be suffice. I would suggest when you post plan for these fans and controller atleast buy a cm fan for front as it will help cooling the HDD .

Avoid CM eXtreme PSUs in all cases. Its better to go with SAGAII 500W. BTW SAGAII 500W costs 2.5k at max not 3.2k. But if you have a higher budget then try:
* TAGAN STONEROCK 500W -- 3.1k
* Corsair VX-450W -- 3.5k
* Corsair GS600W -- 3.9k
