Very nice build!

You could also consider this ram for slightly better timings and not cost all that much more than the ones you choose.

Thats a very solid build that should hold up to new games for the few years.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think a 750w psu is a bit overpowered.
Possible a 650w corsair or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004

Would swap the motherboard for:

it is cheaper, yet you are retaining all of the features of the other board, and you are gaining 2 SATA 6.0 slots at the expense of 2 USB slots.

And unless you are going to be going with mutliple graphics cards in the future, you can drop your PSU down too and save a little:

Thanks for the input guys, i'll put it down to 650w for the psu. Excited to finally be building this thing soon!
