Nice parts you got!
If you wanted to, you should go for the VII Hero instead of the VI Hero. The VII supports 4th and 5th generation Intel CPUs.
The i7-4770k is a great processor so you should stick with that.
You could possibly find some other memory for $10 cheaper but that doesn't seem to be a major concern.
The 250gb SSD and 2tb HDD will serve you well in performance and amount of storage space you need so nice decision there.
That case looks amazing, nothing else to say :3
The GPU will be able to handle BF4 at ultra settings at 1080p and get great framerates as well, a minimum of 45 and a max of up to 95, with an average of about 72 FPS.
The power supply is great, nothing else to say about that.
You don't really need a fancy Optical Drive unless you are in movie making or something like that so good job staying with a cheap drive. You could get one $5 cheaper but it really isn't necessary.

There is a combo deal for the 4770k and your mobo that you have picked out right now that you could save $30 with, but its in-store pickup only so if you don't have a Micro Center by you or don't feel like driving to one then it is still totally fine.
You could get some 1600MHz RAM then OC it to 1866 but the one you have right now is fast and is pretty cheap so that's good.
Hope my short summary helped you out, you have a really nice build on your hands!
