I added a CPU cooler if you plan on overclocking which would come in handy if you want the CPU to be able to play games for the next 3-4 years.
The Msi gtx 770 is on sale ATM and is a very good card for 1080P gaming.
Also the M version of your PSU is semi-modular which allows for better cable management.
And the RAM I selected has a lower CL which is a bit faster then CL9, almost unnoticeable in games, but not bad to have.

UPDATE:
If you would go for a cheaper harddrive you can get a better GPU, the R9 290 with aftermarket cooler, so no heat problems:
