Sweet rig, within budget, compatible across the board, no bottlenecks, case should take all, you've done your homework, should be happy with it, there will be some say go the 4670K that you don't need Hyper Threading, but, if it fits the budget, which it does I like the move, no telling what all else you'll use the rig for and some developers are easing into Hyper Threading with games

-You don't need a blu-ray drive for games.
-No point of getting a mini-itx motherboard with an ATX mid tower.
-8gb of ram is plenty for games. 16gb is overkill and a waste of money because you won't notice a performance increase in games.
-You can get the same psu, except at 850w, for the same price.
-An i7 is overkill for gaming. The only difference between the i5 and the i7 is that the i7 has hyper-threading. However, since games do not utilize hyper-threading, you won't notice a performance difference between the two.
-At this budget, you can get a better case. The Shinobi isn't bad, but you can get a better one.

With all of that said, here's my modified version of your build:

Instead of the Asus 144hz monitor, I would recommend an IPS monitor instead. The IPS monitor will only be able to display 60fps, but you'll get better image quality which will provide a more pleasant gaming experience. This would be a great IPS monitor: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vs239hp

Or, you can go with the more expensive, but better resolution, 1440p monitor: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/crossover-monitor-blacktun...

Great build I would just say you could water cool if you like and still be under budget. Only other upgrade would be a 780ti but you will do great with the regular 780 and that. Would be hard to fit in budget at this point
