There's plenty of folks here who know better than I do about this stuff. Please share your opinions on this gaming set up...especially on how it can be improved both cost and performance wise.

ASUS Maximus HERO IV Z87 (or something less costly that won't bottleneck the GPU)
Sapphire R9 209x
4770k Haswell 3.5
G.Skill Triden DDR3 2400 16GB (2x8GB)
Zalman CNPS12x 120mm fan
Antec 1200 Case
Corsair TX series 750w
Winows 8

Last time I built one was 2009. It's a Q6600 on an ASUS P5E3 Premium with a Sapphire HD4780x2 running on Vista. It's still going strong, but can't run the new stuff at a good frame rate.

I've read the Haswell can get pretty warm. What do recommend for keeping it cool? I'd like to avoid liquid if I can. As far as HDD/SDD I was just going to use a Western Digal 1TB unit
