Your parts are great. Just some minor concerns/questions. You got a "K" series processor. If you plan on overclocking, I suggest getting a Closed Loop water cooler for your CPU. If you don't plan on OC'ing, stick with that. Your videocard is great, basically a GTX 680 with faster memory clock so you'll be great for 1440p gaming for sure. Your power supply seems a bit high for just a single GPU build. Again, if you aren't planning on overclocking the CPU or GPU, I'd suggest lowering it. 600W is fine. Everything else is great.

Good luck!
