Yup great build overall and will run any game minimum 60 FPS. But there are 2 things I would recommend you changing:

1. If you have extra money you could upgrade your motherboard to the Asus Maximus VII Hero as it uses the Z97 chipset. But the VI Hero will still work very well for you if you do not have the money to upgrade it.

2. I would recommend you changing your PSU to the Corsair AX/ HX series. The CX series has a few problems such as Power failures and a poor latch that makes it extremely difficult to place the 24 pin cable into the motherboard.

I recommend the Antec HCG 620w, as it is very good quality psu, semi-modular, and about the same price or cheaper than that cx unit.

IF you ever intend to upgrade your ram I would buy 1 8 gig now, and another later. If 8 is where you want to be it will handle it all. I have 32 gb and it was a dumb use of money. I've used over 12 but never 16. And personally I would look into at least a 750w power supply. I have a few Ultras that are modular and they have worked very well for me.
