Is a 1150w overkill for this build?

The overall build is good but some points. Go with 16GB ram, not 32... thats too much and i'm assuming you are going for gaming. also these are a bit better in terms of price + performane.

Yes the PSU is a overkill, i'd go with a 860i and buy some sleeved cables from corsair.

but PLEASE wait for the Z97, its a Z87 with newer CPU Compatibility.
Anyway, as a owner of the TUF series mobo sabertooth z77, i'd say dont pay the premium and go with the sabertooth but instead go with the upcomming Z97-pro

Edit: i just checked your PSU, its AeroCool.. well if you are going with it better have a fire extinguisher nearby. they are pretty much junk.
