Hi, this is my ~1500$ pc build, this is my first build so if you have any suggestions please tell me 
*Note: I live in Australia so the prices might be a little wacky
Case: Cooler Master N600 Windowed ATX Mid Tower ($89)
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO ($39)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K ($385)
GPU: MSI Radeon R9 280X 3GB TWIN FROZR ($369)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB ($159)
RAM: ADATA XPG V2 16GB (2 x 8GB) (On newegg) ($183.14 )
Power Supply: Silverstone Strider Plus 750W 80+ Silver Certified Fully-Modular ($139)
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($169)
parts list: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/soofness/saved/LkrcCJ
This build will be used mainly for gaming but also running 3d modeling programs and other intensive programs (im assuming they are CPU intensive, hence the i7). I have plans of installing a second HDD but im trying to limit my self to start so i dont fill it up with absolute Cr@p again... i have 2tb external
is the 4770k an easy overclocker? (i would like to mess around with it, free power, why not?)
i plan on playing games like bioshock infinite and borderlands.
i have all the peripherals needed already as well as windows, i would also like the psu to be 700w + for futureproofing for crossfire when the day comes
and last and least important is i would like to keep the yellow black colour scheme but that was just how it worked out
finally should i put off buying it for the release of the haswell refresh either to get the new CPU or just wait for a drop in price of the 4770k
THANKS for your help in advance
