It all looks reasonable, the Crucial m4 is getting a little long in the tooth. I've heard good things about the samsung 840's, I use plenty of the Intel 335's at work and they're excellent too.

Do you plan on playing bluray movies through this pc? If not then just go for a regular dvd drive, Games don't come on bluray, they are moving to online instead.

That cyborg keyboard is getting pretty costly for a non mechanical keyboard unless you already own it. You're not far off being in Mechanical keyboard territory and they are in my opinion a better move.

You should be fine with 8 gig of ram but I would look at how much extra going to 16 for future proofing will sting you and perhaps dropping down from the 2133 as a trade off as for gaming there is negligible difference in performance from higher speed ram.

Other than that you should be just fine for gaming on that at that resolution, you could probably almost go up to a higher res 27 inch screen budget permitting.

Personally, I'd go Samsung 840 (Evo if you can $$) for the SSD, but the Crucial M4 is a good performer. I'd also go to 16GB of RAM, but I tend to have other stuff running in the background, if it's just for gaming, 8 is fine. I'd also go Corsair for the PSU. Presumably budget is pretty open? I've really enjoyed gaming @ 2560x1440 since I upgraded my monitor, so might be worth considering. If budget is a concern, btw, I'd drop to a i5-4670 (K if you want to overclock).
