Thanks so much! Ok I sort of applied all of the input here.

2 more questions:
Is that Hyper 212 cooler good enough for overclocking?
And for PSUs does an M designation in the model usually just stand for "Modular" and is modular better for airflow since u can customize cables better?
Hyper 212 Evo is a really good cooler and its usually enough up to 1.275V. (this voltage is usually enough up to 4.2 ~ 4.4GHZ). If you aim higher overclock results you may want liquid cooling solutions.
And
Yes, true. M stands for modular, which you can remove unnecessary cables.
But to be honest you shall change the case, since it doesnt have 3.0, so I advice get something like Corsair 300R or similar.
And if you want GTX770, it maybe a better idea to choose 4GB version.
In games like Battlefield4 and CoD-Ghosts, video ram usage is already around 2GB and my MSI 770 Lightning suffers sometimes hehe... take my advice as a 770-owner.
And yes it is true that 770 is always a better and faster card than 280X, however the difference is small...
And the memories you chose are really old, and they are 1.65V versions. Haswell memory controllers are suitable for 1.5V memories. So I advise you to not to over that limit, it really shortens the life span.
So I replaced them with a suitable low-profile 1.5V versions.
So my final advice is something like this; (I made some changes over what you posted)
