Is now a good or bad time to buy a current intel cpu or nvidia gpu?

Solution
I might wait a week to see if the upcoming devils canyon i5-4690K is indeed a super chip.
Regardless, I would build using a more modern Z97 based motherboard.

On your build, 120gb for the ssd is starting to look a bit small; can you do 240gb?
Perhaps defer on the hard drive until you need bulk storage space.

I don't like liquid coolers when a decent air cooler will do the job equally well and be quieter and more reliable in the process.
It's always a bad time to buy anything. Something is always coming that makes your build obsolete. This is why I prefer to recommend mid-range builds over high end.

Your build selection is good and well balanced except the PSU is way overkill. You could get away with a good 550W unit.
