Looks good, but:

I'd go for the 4790k that should cost about the same and the z97 version of that motherboard.
Go for a Corsair RM series or XFX, Seasonic, Antec or EVGA power supply.
1600MHz CL10 ram is bad, you should go for 1600Mhz CL9 or lower.

I would go for a 780 instead of TI :)

"To put it on simple maths:

The frequency is expressed in Hertz, which means "cycles per second". So, the DDR3 2000 will perform 2000 cycles a second while the DDR3 1600 will do, well, 1600.

The CAS latency is given in cycles. So, a CAS9 RAM will take 9 cycles to respond and the CAS6, 6 cycles.

Now putting it together: the DDR3 2000 CAS 9 will take 9/2000 seconds, which is equal to 0,0045 seconds, to respond while the DDR3 1600 CAS 6 will take 6/1600, which is equal to 0,0038 seconds, to respond. Thus, the 1600 one is faster."

CAS latency = lower is better.
