its OK, but there are some problems. like, why are you putting a 4790k in a 1100 pound build? you can go for an i5 instead and get better graphics or more fps in games.
also, dont get different sets of ram into a single pc, the different timings might not work together.
just get a bigger power supply. it will give you more upgradability and overclocking headroom for the same price.
don't get windows 7, because support for it had stopped (windows are not pushing updates anymore)
a bigger ssd can be nice.

what are you going to do with your PC? gaming? video editing? 3d rendering?

Fixed it.
you'll be ready to sli and overclock comfortably, when going for SLI you'll just need to plug in the graphics card, the PSU and motherboard are ready
everything else is replaced with reliable and reputable parts.
The only thing I don't know about is the PCI wireless adapter - if you've got the option - ALWAYS go for wired.
happy building.
