1. What will it be used for ? ... if it's gaming box, you may want to drop to a 6600k and up the GFX card. Saves $115. If doing workstation apps / video editing, keep the 6700k. Unless you using workstation apps or more than 2 GFC+X cards stick with Z17
2. The network adapter is redundant.
3. The Mobo is a bit overpriced for what it offers....In addition, the Asus has a
substandard audio solution while all competitors in this price range offer ALC 1150... which is a better board, has ALC 1150 and is $32 cheaper. ($147 so far)
4. I think you have a mistake with two different sets of memory. Keep the 16GB set of 2400 or go to 2660. Save $170 by losing the 32 GB set. ($317 saved so far)
5. That is a horrendously slow HD. (4.01 MB/s in THG Gaming test). A 250 GB SSD really has only 233 GB of space. With the the recommended 15% free space you are down to 198 ... take off 80 GB for windows (after 6 months), that's 118Gb of space ... GTAV takes up 95 GB
So... best you get something fast ... this is 50% faster in gaming than the WD Black

$20 more gets you twice the capacity.
6. I'd get a 10xx series card
7. 500 R is a great case ... in its day, there are better ones in same price range.
8. The G1 is not where I'd go on the PSU
