This will be my build. I intend to use this rig for gaming. Is it good enough? I have already bought most of the parts but i would really like to know if ive made any mistakes. So did i make any mistakes? Should i have bought something else? Will this rig be good for gaming and overclocking even without modifications? Your help is much appreciated.

No real mistakes,the build looks pretty good.
But:
1) You should've waited for the launch of the GTX 900 series,the GTX 970 is $100 cheaper than the 780 and it is stronger.
2) You should've got 2x4GB of RAM,not 1x8GB.If the RAM dies,then you will have to buy a new set,whereas when you're using 2x4GB,and one DIMM dies,you still have 4GB of RAM.
3)SSD is mediocre,Crucial M500 120GB would be a better choice.Or Samsung 840 EVO.Or Intel 530 series.
4) The PSU isn't the best,you could've got a better one for the price,but it'll do till you get a new one.
