Looks great, but you won't be needing the Corsair RM 750W.
Your build will probably only pull about 600W, and with overclocking 650W should be fine.

The only time you will want a 750W PSU is if you are going to be running a SLI setup with the 770.
Here's a good alternative I recommend very highly.

For a possible upgrade to SLI I would recommend this PSU
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Power Supply: SeaSonic G-750 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($94.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $94.99
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

But if you feel like you're on a really tight budget, you could save a few bucks and go with:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

Power Supply: XFX 650W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($79.74 @ Amazon)
Total: $79.74
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

But in the end, I recommend that 750W Seasonic 80+ Gold Semi-Modular.

(If you've already ordered the parts and cannot go back, then keep your Corsair RM 750, it will work good with your build.)
 
Most rational people will admit that Intel and AMD both have their benefits. The 4670k is a great CPU. Anybody who says otherwise is... don't listen to people who say that. The Seasonic and XFX power supplies are great, but 750w is more futureproof. Personally I like to not upgrade my power supply every time I need an upgrade.

No problem. For your other parts, I can't recommend anything. What you've selected is top notch.
By the way, can I ask what was your budget for this build?

I've build you basically a whole new system within your budget, which should perform massively better in games due to the upgrade from the 770 to the 780.

It comes out to about $1340.
I've also included a 128GB Samsung 840EVO PRO SSD.

Also, I've replaced your old HDD for the WD Black 1TB, which is better in the reliability and life-expectancy factor. (alot better than the Seagate.)
