Looks good. Just some optional improvements:
If you can, I would go for a Z97 board and the new Devils Canyon i5 4690k.
You really only need 8GB of RAM for gaming so you could save a little there.
And if your case will fit a Corsair H110, I prefer it over the H100i because it offers nearly identical performance but makes less noise.

It's good, but I took the liberty of making some adjustments:

Any particular reason for that? This how the R9 290X performs compared to the GTX 770: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-290-and-290x,3728-5.html
In any case, you could always get this if you really want Nvidia: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-n780tf3gd5oc

Nope, but the Sapphire card has a better cooler and Sapphire is one of the best brands out there when it comes to AMD GPUs.
Here's a review of a Sapphire card: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2014/03/11/sapphire-radeon-r9-290x-tri-x-oc-review/1
It has the same cooler, but it's the OC edition so it's a tiny bit faster than the one I linked.
