Video Card: PNY GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card
Case: Antec Three Hundred Two ATX Mid Tower Case

If you're getting a non-overclockable CPU, you don't need a Z-series board. Also, consider getting a Haswell Refresh CPU. There's little point in an i7 over an i5 for gaming, too.

I'd look at the 4690K.

The rest is largely OK.

What do you think about the PSU? And is there any issue with the case size and such?

PSU is fine, though you could probably go with a 550W one.
