Looks pretty good, you might want to drop down to the i5-4570 because it offers better value than the i5-4670. Take the savings get a better PSU and motherboard, and I think the Gigabyte 770 has a better cooler:

This is an H87 board versus a B85, so it has better features and Gigabyte makes a better motherboard in my opinion. It's not a huge difference, but I tend not to skimp as much on the motherboard.

The Corsair CX power supplies aren't the best quality and some of them have had issues with the Haswell CPUs. That Antec HCG is a better quality product, and more in-line with Corsairs higher-end PSUs.

This is me just nitpicking though, your build will work fine.
