I have a list of parts that I plan on buying, and I just want to know if I'm making any huge mistakes. Bottle-necking, spending too much on the wrong stuff, etc. thought I'd run this by the community in general.

Parts:

Case: CoolerMaster HAF 932 Blue Edition
CPU: i5-4670k
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87 D3H
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 770 OC Windforce 4GB
Fan: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1866
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro
HDD: WesternDigital 1TB
Power: Thermaltake 650 Watt power supply
Optical Drive: LITE-ON DVD Burner.
