Think about a SSD drive rather than just a standard HDD. Load times for a lot of stuff will be a lot faster. If you are playing online, you will really notice a difference when some are already playing as a map changes and yet others are still twiddling thumbs.

You haven't picked a CPU cooler or are you hoping the standard retail cooler is enough?

You are already looking at a lot of options from scan. Consider sticking with one supplier for everything. You may get better overall value and a balanced system if you look at Scans bundles (you don't have to have the overclocking) for CPU, motherboard, RAM and cooler. It may also work out cheaper on delivery to get it all at once? Scan also offer a piece of mind insurance that covers you if you screw up during your build and damage something expensive.
