Are you going to be overclocking your CPU? I really don't think you need to spend $150 on a water cooler. I think you could cut some components down and get a better GPU.

What do you you think of the new fan I chose? Should I go with the NZXT Respire T40 or Corsair H60?

This is cheaper and as good if not better in some aspects.

PSU is superior as it's a higher quality unit that is less likely to fail but you do sacrifice modularity for quality capacitors.

If you don't care about SLI/Overclocking I'd take this.

This CPU can't overclock and it's as fast as an i7 4770 just it has no integrated graphics(you have a 770 2gb in this build who cares about integrated graphics)
