Tight budget Z97 build

So I've been accumulating funds to splash out on a new PC for a while now, and I finally kicked off the purchasing process by picking up a 7970 matrix for £190, I have £530 left for budget and want to go Z97 (latest and greatest)
Here's the part list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/wargod56/saved/CXdrxr
there are a few parts that I would love to keep in there, which are the arc midi R2, and the patriot viper RAM (love the heat spreaders on them).

I am tempted to go with the 250GB SSD because I already have media stored on my current PC and can access it over the network, the MoBo that is currently in there is just to fill the budget although I have been eyeing up the Z97 Asrock boards (would even go with a lower cost one to free up some budget for after market fans (enermax T.B appolish)

I am aiming for a blue build (most of my peripherals have blue LED's) so I like the look of MSI's options too.
Otherwise feel free to advise.
 
If I were you (and I'm personally putting together my own list for my new rig) I wouldn't save money buying that PSU. And I would go for a crucial MX 100 256gb SSD instead and use the saved money to buy a gold certified psu like the corsair RM 550.
That's only because I've heard bad things about the corsair CX power supplies.
