Ok , here are the explanaitions :
The CPU : The 4690k will come out in like what ? 1 week ? and it only costs 5 more dollars than the 4670k , and has better overclocking ability .
The CPU Cooler : Though you can keep the h100i , the noctua nh d14 is a lot quieter and will , overall , give close to identical performance compared to the h100i .
The Motherboard : There's no reason of getting an outdated chipset , while you can get a motherboard that supports 2 way SLI and crossfire for cheaper and having better overclocking abilities than an even more expensive , outdated motherboard . I mean z87 isn't that much outdated but i highly recommend getting the Gigabyet-GAZ97X-Gaming 3
The RAM : I saw you we're looking for 12GB of ram , but for 10 extra dollars you can get 16GB of ram , and the ram sticks you've choosen aren't compatible , which will lead to os crashes .
The SSD : The 840 EVO is cheaper and slightly better than the 840 pro , so there's no point of getting the 840 pro .
The HDD : it's the same , good buy .
The GPU : The 290 outperforms the 770 in almost all games , and has 4gb of vram , and is just a little bit more expensive , but it's worth the money .
The optical drive : any od will do it , i just choosed a random lite-on one .
The sound card : There isn't any , because spending 20$ on a cheap sound card is just not worth it , i'd get the xonar phoebus , it's alot better , but it's also more expensive .
Though the build is 10$ more , it's alot better .
