The only thing I'd change about your build is the CPU and RAM. For gaming, you definitely do not need 16 gb RAM nor an i7 hyper threading CPU. All you need is 8GB Ram and an i5 CPU, like the i5 4670k. Graphics card is very important when gaming, and I see that you have picked a very good choice, really powerful GPU.

I hesitate to get less ram, because i want this system to last at least 5 years and AAA titles like battlefield 4 are already recommending 8 GB of ram also if i want quad channel ram it has to be a LGA 2011 socket.
