I just ordered all my parts and wanted to get se feedback since I'm brand new to pc building. I'm hoping to build a top notch gaming pc specifically for BF4. I've spent several days researching in hopes to choose compatible components. Any feedback is appreciated. Parts are as follows.

Cooler Master HAF 922 mid tower
Aero k Z77 Extreme 4 LGA 1155
EVGA SuperClocked w/ ACX Cooling GeForce GTX 770 2GB
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 1000W SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155
SAMSUNG 840 EVO 2.5" 250GB SATA III TLC Internal (SSD)
G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3
Western Digital WD Black 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
Sony Optiarc High Speed DVD RW Drive 24X DVD+R
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Water Cooler
Noctua NF-S12A FLX 120mm Case Fans to replace existing H100i fans



 
That PSU is not the best quality and it is VERY overkill. A 650w PSU from Antec, XFX, Corsair, Seasonic would have been a much better idea.

Those closed loop water coolers aren't a very good use of money. For less money and noise, you can get an air cooler which will cool basically just as well.

For gaming, 8gb RAM is all that will be needed for a long time.

The PSU had excellent reviews and a lot of them, and came highly recommended by the IT team at my work. I got 1000w because in the future I plan on adding another GTX 770. The water cooler outperformed everything in it's price range and it was on sale. The Noctua fans will replace the factory H100i fans and will move a lot more air w/ a lot less noise.
 
You do not need 1000w to SLI 770s. 850w would be more than plenty. Coolermaster makes terrible PSUs. They have a few good one but why risk it with a company known to make terrible PSUs? Stick with Antec XFX, Corsair, Seasonic.
