That looks fine to me. In fact, very fine. Those're some good choices. May I ask what's your budget? You could save a few dollars by going with 1600 MHz RAM (I heard it makes no noticable differences with RAM speeds and such) And maybe throw in a little SSD in there if you can.
 
Slight tweaks:

Changed to a 4670k, and went with the Asus z87-pro motherboard which has an onboard wi-fi adapter. So ditched the aftermarket one completely. Changed to a much better quality PSU. Also changed out the case to a better built one. Dropped down on the ram. It's not worth paying that much extra for 1866mhz ram. If it's the same price as 1600, sure. Even better if you can find 2133mhz for that price.
