Looks very good- you might want to get a Haswell i5-4670K, but besides that you're set; I take it you have a storage drive besides your boot drive (SSD).

Looks great!

I would get a different GPU. 770 is a great card, but the reference coolers aren't very good and are loud. If you don't mind a bit extra noise and don't plan on overclocking, then it won't matter though, didn't realize there would be that much of a price difference on that site. Do you need it to be there? Amazon UK has it for 255 pounds.

fine ... go for it

My only feedback involves the choice of a Z68 motherboard rather than a Z77 which is more optimized for Ivy Bridge CPU's. The Z68 board will work with that CPU (BIOS update may be needed) but I feel a 3570k/Z77 match up is better
Just feedback, nothing more

Sylvanriv :

This, the i5-4670K will last longer, etc.

a Z68 motherboard is ancient , and lacks features added with Z77
