Looking good so far man! I'll make a few changes for you, but first I must ask;
Do you have a color preference?
What will you be using the PC for?

The Corsair CX psu's use cheap capacitors and I would not suggest using it. better units can be had for the same price. Also you can get a R9 290 for less and it's faster than the 770.

If you are just gaming then you could drop down to the the i5 4690k and 8Gb of ram and get a 780ti or a 290x.

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/karcar549/saved/Qd6p99 This is how i would spend that money costs 30$ dollars more.but has better gpu(r9 290)and a more reliable motherboard(gigabyte boards are higher quality than asrock)But no h100i if your gaming/editing and not overclocking than the 212 evo is a very good cooler.Also the arc midi r2 case is very suitable for you build and is not that expensive and is very high quality.you can probably reuse this case for your next build.this also has a 250gb evo ssd.the v750 from cooler master is a higher quality than the cx750.The v750's oem is actually seasonic so you know you will get a very good psu
