CL10 RAM looks not so good better to get 2133 CL9 :D 
16GB is overkill for gaming and Black drive is pointless with SSD because it would be louder than WD Blue.
Also you can get better PSU for same TX's price :)

i5 4670k is enough for gaming. but if you want i7 then it is fine.
You might want a stronger cpu cooler like Noctua NH-D15 or go AIO water cooler like H100i.

Yeah, I was thinking of going for the H100i. Need to see if EVO is enough for 4,4GHz~~ OC. On the ram side I choose CL10 and 1600 because I saw a review on these to specifications and actually they don't really make that much of an influance on fps. Or am I wrong? :p

Price difference is not that high between CL9 and CL10 so better to get faster RAM than slower for about same price
Also don't pay too much on monitor with 8ms response time get some cheaper but good IPS monitor if you want good colors and viewing angles :) 

Here goes my suggestion

Edit: Yes Faster RAM doesn't increase FPS by a margin but better to get 1866MHz RAM with CL9 than 1600MHz CL10 for almost same price

Edit 2: Don't buy closed loop water cooler, they are way louder than high end air coolers, high end air cooler like NH-D14/15 cools CPU better than any closed loop water cooler :)

Hmm, I'll need to see if that PSU is available in my country. Talking about the cooler. I wonder is noctua NH-D14 a bit overkill for OC to 4.4GHz~~. Maybe you could explain simply whats the difference between blue and black drivers. Cause I have no clue really :D  And conserning the monitor I really have no idea what the latency of 8 ms feels and what is 1 ms. Need to find out whats the difference :)  But thanks for the suggestions.

NH-D14 would keep your CPU cool while you OC it and there is no overkill cooler for CPU's :D 
Blue drive has same specs but Black has two or 3 platters while Blue has only one, performance should be equal but Black drive woks louder (a lot) than Blue drive :) 
Also Blue drive a lot cheaper than Black. Black drive needed for photo/video editing machines.
