The detailed list is below.
However I have slight concerns.

I will be using this pc for work and stream videos. I use a lot of programs at once so I need a decent pc with overall good performance. Also watch lots of high def movies.

*The PC will be upstairs and the modem for internet is downstairs in my townhome. Will the network adapter be okay for this setup or do I need a stronger one? there is one wall in between and I would say about 20-25 feet distance

*I will also be connecting a wireless hdmi to this pc to stream video to my hd tv downstairs. about same distance I mentioned above, is this possible? If it is, which wireless hdmi adapter should I buy?

*Do any of the components look too weak or relatively weak for what I need this pc for?

*I listen to songs 320 kbps while I am working at home and have a decent bose speaker which I will be connecting to this pc. Will this pc deliver decent sound quality?

* Am I missing anything? any cables? Do I need to buy any power cords etc? its my first time building. Please tell me what else I would need to buy..I do have a monitor

the 4770 is the newer replacement for the cpu you picked out. if your close to a micro center store there 269.00.
I would wait a few weeks for the newer z97 mb the newer chipset mb let you do one more cpu upgrade when intel drops the newer brodwell cpu. the aries ram is newer line of ram. with haswell cpu the faster the ram the better. the sound card is an extra part. use the build with onboard sound chip. aftermarket cards some of them do sound better then the onboard sound chip.
