do you intend to overclock? if so you might want to get the i5-3570K, in benchmarks its a little slower but in games and other real world application its just as fast, as your gonna need something much more powerful than CM hyper 212 evo with 4670K.

also you aren't gonna need a 1000W PSU for this build. drop down to something like Seasonic S12II 520W PSU. its much more reliable than the one you picked and probably cheaper.

you also won't need a 180$ mobo for this build if you are going with 3570K, go with Asrock Z77 extreme 4 to save some cash.

finally with all these cost saving's you might be able to get a GF GTX 670 which performs much better than GTX 760 and costs arround 330$

Rosewill afaik doesn't make their own hardware they just put a sticker on it. Many of their psu's are made by reputable companies and are excellent. There was an article on toms little while ago about this and they had a chart where you could look up most psu and see the actual manufacturer. I think you did a great job with this build but that way to much power if your not gonna overclock and sli.

Im most likely going to overclock and I was looking around again and Im looking at the asus maximus vi hero or the Z87-GD65 GAMING mobo. Also if I am going to overclock do I need a 1000w psu?

I just walched a vid on this cooler and it covers the ram slots and ram height is now an issue. if I use the CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) should I be fine or should I look for one that is lower

I would get corsair vengeance low profiles:

They will perform the same, they just won't be as flashy. (which won't matter anyway if they are covered by a heatsink.)
