I've been working on a suitable computer build within the last few days, and I think I have finally finished it up.

I appreciate any input on the build. Are there any flaws, suggestions, parts I should switch out? If there are, I'd like the suggestion to come with an explanation as to why the change should occur. Thanks again for any help. Also, I plan to OC/Sli in the future, and I do need some sort of wireless to work with in my build, as there is no possible way for me to connect an Ethernet cable anywhere in my house. The sound card is for my Astro A50's.

It's very expensive for what you actually get (ultimately it boils down to a GTX780 and a 4670k). You could get two of those graphics cards within the same budget, more or less, with a bit of focused pruning across the board.
A proof of the concept, not really a suggestion as such - http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2h6IT

If you are happy to spend that kind of money on things like the motherboard, then that's up to you, but it doesn't give a great performance return.

Looks like it's a luxury build.

I have no idea if u'r a hi-fi fan or not, generally the mobo has integrated sound card. So an additional sound card is needed only if u pursuit extreme sound quality or have a very high end speaker system.

The mobo is a little redundant for i5-4670k, for me a 150-200 buck gigabyte, asus or asrock Z87 mobo is OK. U could go forward a bit to purchase a 4770k.

If your going with that board you may as well just go with a 4770k as well to go with the build.

This is something I would do, you had 1 x8gb stick, so changed it to a dual channel 8gb set at a faster speed and its cheaper. The asus z87 pro would probably be the most expensive board I would buy next to the VI hero. But I guess you wanted the wireless antenna so I went with the pro. Zotac is a decent card and its cheap in Canada. Since your going with only 1 card, I picked a more suitable PSU that is fully modular. If you want to go SLI you have to pick a 850W.
