So am finally done with my gaming build and am about to order the parts but I wanted to make sure that everything is good, its my first build so I need to be sure that nothing is wrong :D!

My Parts:

Intel Core i5-4670K Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.80 GHz)
Corsair Carbide 300R Black Mid-Tower Gaming Case with Side Window
SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W 80 PLUS BRONZE
SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 OC WITH BOOST
LG DVD Writer 24X Optical Drive SATA
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (4x2GB) 1600MHz with XMP 1.3
ASROCK Z87-EXTREME4 MOTHERBOARD
Seagate 1000 GB SATA Hard Drive

Thanks for any feedback :)...

Your build will work as is.
But... I have some thoughts:

1. Today, I would build using a Z97 based motherboard. It should cost no more and it will give you upgrade options to broadwell or devil's canyon.
2. I expect within the week to see a i5-4690K at about the same price.
3. If you will overclock, buy a cooler. A $30 cm hyper212 or similar will do the job.
4. The ram is fine, but buy the low profile version.
5. PSU is excellent.
6. I will not build again without a SSD for the "C" drive. I suggest a Samsung evo 240gb ssd. Defer on the hard drive until you need the space; it is easy to add one later.

1) ASUS Z97-A Motherboard
2)ASUS SABERTOOTH Z97 MARK 2 Motherboard
