Great build. you would want a cpu cooler to overclock the i7-4770k. You can go with the Hyper 212 EVO for decent OC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
Or the Phanteks cooler for a more rigorous oc: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709001

Also, Thermaltake cases aren't the best quality. Here are some better options:
Corsair 500R - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139010
Fractal Design Define R4 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352021
NZXT Phantom - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146068
Cooler Master Storm Stryker - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119260
