Turkey, turkey. You're a nice person for helping, but you need to do a little more homework. Please don't take this as me picking on you. I'm simply trying to help.

The H97 motherboard doesn't allow overclocking. Thus the 4690k is useless in that motherboard. Lol and again the PSU is major overkill. That PSU could run SLI 770s if you wanted it too. Read just a little more.

Oops well I thought it did support overclocking. What chip sets do and don't support overclocking?

I was looking around to see if I could build one better but I think this is a great build. No reason to change anything. The Rosewill is a good PSU. I personally would go with a Seasonic or Corsair but the Capstone has good reviews.

OP, as a reminder, look at the Mail-in-Rebates.

Only the Z and X chipsets can overclock (Z97, Z87, X99 etc). The H97 may have the ability right now to overclock however that depends on Intel. The first line of Haswell motherboards H87s actually allowed for overclocking. But Intel came in later and had all manufacturers update BIOS to prevent overclocking. I'm not sure if they have done the same this time but it wouldn't surprise me if they did.

Also, when it comes to PSUs, there are a couple things that come into play. Motherboard and GPU are key. Check the TDP of each GPU. GPUs use the +12V rails which in the electrical wold Watts = Volts * Amps. So if a GPU has a TDP of 240 watts, it's going to use 20 Amps. Never overload a +12V rail. As for the motherboard, you need to watch for speed of the PCIe slots. For single cards, this hardly comes into play. But if OP wants SLI, x4 speed on a slot will hold back the second card a lot. So there's no need for a large PSU if the motherboard is going to hinder performance in the first place.
