Why a Z87 MB for non k CPU if it cannot be overlocked instead take MSI H87M-G45.
Why 1333MHz RAM instead of it go for Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz 8GB.OK.
Your Min PSU requirement will be 484watts and maximum will be 534watts.So Seasonic S12II 520 is more than sufficient for your above configuration.(If adding R9 280x GPU)
You can check your PSU requirement here: eXtreme Power Supply Calculator

@OP; for PSU, you should get a 520 W or 600 W PSU to be safe. And as bavusani has already mentioned, there is no need fo a Z87 board for a non k CPU.

For pure gaming i would recommend i5-4670 non-k it will suffice all your needs, so better spend more on graphics...
Monitor is completly your choice(my vote goes to 21.5" dell S2240L)
No need to upgrade rams :)

If you haven't purchased the new config, then why not start a new thread in "PC Config" section?

i suggest to get the following
i5 4570 (14000)
Asus b85m g (6500)

antec gx 700- 4000 or cosair carbide 400r- 5500
seasonic s12 ii 620 - (5200)
Lenovo M6811 (700)
any KB (700)
since you have budget of ~~75k, it is better to wait for amd r9 290x or expect a price drop in gtx 780.
