If this build for gaming and you dont have intentions to do intensive tasks such as editing/rendering, the i7-4770k is unnecessary.
Also, I would suggest air cooler instead of liquid cooling. It's quieter and is just as good or even better. Your ram, I suggest getting dual, 2 x 4. The PSU is a huge waste of money. You're not going to need a 1000w.. 650/750 should be more than enough for you. You can actually cut down on some of your stuff and grab a GTX 780. Which should be a priority for you if your rig is for gaming.

I agree with everything HeyyScott said. if you go for an air cooler, check out the Noctua NH-D14, I have one, and while it's a brick of a cooler, my CPU idles around 25 C. Also, you should spend $10 more dollars for a Seagate Barracuda 2TB drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148834), which is twice as big as the WD, and extremely fast. An SSD is a good idea as well, as long as you have solutions to move games between the SSD and HDD, because if you're like me and don't like to delete your games, you'll run out of space quickly.

All depends what your goal in the design is. Are you looking for just 50FPS on BF4 on High or you talking three 1080-P surround screens all running 60+FPS on Ultra on BF4. There is never a future proof computer, but you can invest wisely to last a long time, and Haswell i7 is a great pick going forward, nothing will ever be a challenge for that for a long long time.
