For gaming you dont need the 4770k, hyperthreading wont help in games(some actually do worse) so get the 4670k. The Seasonci x series are great, but I would get an 850w unit so you can add another 770 in a year or so when you need more gpu power. The tc12dx is good but If you want to do some bigger overclocks get ph-tc14pe instead. You dont need 16Gb of ram for gaming but it will help increase the SSD's longevity.
