Overall very nice.
What I would say is that CiT are not a brand with a great reputation, and that case despite looking the part might not have fantastic build quality. Given you are going to be spending the best part of £1000, and given there are a lot of good quality cases from reputable brands in the ~£50 bracket, I would probably give serious thought to a switch.

Also, for a single GTX770, even with overclocking, a 750W PSU is a bit overkill. Given the CX range is a bit basic, you might want to consider downgrading the wattage and upgrading the quality a little.

Minor points really, everything is solid.

Everything is good. Except that cheap PSU, Corsair CX is cheap their HX or RM line would be better.
For PSUs I recommend Seasonic USA though, they make the best PSUs.
You can also get faster RAM than that for the same price, look into CL7/1600Mhz kits or CL8/1600Mhz kits. You have a CL9 kit picked.
