Here are the final components:

Graphic Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 770 2GB SC ACX (2-Way SLI in the future)
CPU: Intel Core i5 4670k 3,4GHz
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H
Storage: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200rpm SATA 6.0Gb/s
PSU: Corsair HX750 v2 750W 80+ Gold (Due to upgrading)
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 (Black)

So what do you think? Is it stable, high end, quality, for how much?

I just want to thank everyone who helped me pick out the parts! ;)

EDIT: Changed type of ram to match the color of the motherboard and the storage amount from 500GB to 1TB.

Well, this gaming build was designed for "me" but i guess if you're someone else who like storing big files with photoshop or some editing program for your YT vids and such then yea go for the 1TB or even more but i rarely take up more than 300GB and when i do i delete all the junk i don't need and clean my desktop of unnecessary programs.

Its a great build but you can always save some money. If you're on a tight budget, I suggest getting the Radeon 7970 GHz. Great card, just below the 770, and is about 50$-100$ cheaper than the GTX 770. Since you're trying to make an editing PC, at least I think that's what you're doing, get the AMD FX 8350. Its an 8-core CPU clocked at 4GHz. Great for editing and its 50$ about less than the 4670k. I'm not sure about any AMD3+ motherboards, you should ask around if you do end up getting the 8350. And, are you going to over clock? If you're not, just save some money and get the stock speed processor (4670) and you don't even need a CPU cooler saving you about 80$. On the other hand, if you're look to spend a little more, I really suggest you invest in an SSD. Just a 60GB to put your OS on. That makes booting and transferring files much easier.

GTX770 is the same price as 7970Ghz right now. 770 is better then 7970Ghz

GTX770: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=GTX770&N=-1&isNodeId=1

7970Ghz: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=7970Ghz&N=-1&isNodeId=1

If you really want AMD. Go for it. Just know that paying an extra $10-$20 is worth it for the performance compared to the 7970Ghz, they're on sale right now.

EDIT: Also, why the double post?

Well, I'm not on a tight budget and this is going to be my personal gaming build used for gaming and not used for any kinds of editing. And yes i'm going to do a mild overclock to about 4GHz and see if I can go higher from there with stable temperature. And I'm totally satisfied with the GTX 770 as it just feels like my type of card but I guess everyone else has their own taste.

Alright. An SSD would make your games load quicker and you could use the mechanical HDD for like backups and what not.

True, but if your only using it for a boot drive then get a 120GB SSD. Just Note that they are sort of expensive right now. I would recommend a Seagate Constellation ES.3 HDD if you want something near the speed of a high-end SSD.
