If the primary goal is gaming, you'd be much better off dropping to 8GB RAM, an i5 4460, the cooler and (possibly, if it saves you money) a cheaper motherboard.

Use the money saved to get a better GPU. You could probably afford a GTX 970 if you ditch all that. Which is I'd guess around 3 times faster than the 750ti in your current build.

Your current build could run most games on medium to high setting with 30-60 FPS depending on the game. But I would get a cheaper motherboard and CPU cooler (because liquid cooling isn't necessary for those specs). If you ditch the motherboard and CPU cooler for cheaper ones, you could afford a much better GPU like a GTX 960 or 970.
