These are the parts I'm ordering to build a custom gaming PC.
I need your opinions whether or not to change anything about the parts.
Should I go for it?

this is much better. good thing you asked.

-no point of 2HDD's getting one ssd and install windows on it will increase boot/loading times.

-a gtx 770 instead of a gtx 760 means alot more fps in games.

-4770k and 4670k is almost the same.

-better brand case.

What do you plan to do with this computer? If it's a gaming build, then you should get the i5-4670k instead of the i7 and use the extra money on a better GPU. Also, why do you have two 1TB hdds instead of one 2TB?

* IF * it is just for gaming:

An i5 4670k will save you some cost and is a better pick for just gaming.
8GB of RAM (2x4GB) is plenty for gaming. And while that board will support DDR3 1866, some low latency DDR3 1600 (IE: 8-8-8-24) will give you as good performance but probably cost a little less. Compare prices on the RAM speed/latency and see if that's a better idea.

Take whatever you save on the CPU and RAM and put it into a better single GPU. You might be able to save enough to bump from a 760 up to a 770, depending on your budget.

* HOWEVER * <- There's always one of those :) 

If you plan to do a dual GPU setup with 2 760's in SLI in the future, an i7 will scale better. So your current parts list is good if SLI is planned. But I would still go to 8GB (2x4GB) RAM.

It looks good... I would dump the Seagate though. They do nothing but fail.
The WD Blue would make a good storage disk. spend a few bucks get a 2TB storage and then a 128gb SSD for your boot drive. And unless you're overclocking that proc you wont need the water. the case is cool and the proc with a decent $60 air cooler will allow you to hit 4.2-.3 without issues. 4.5 is hot and you won't get much more than that on water either, maybe max at 4.8. Everything else looks good. this proc shines with that 1866 ram.

Me... I run the same proc. started with water and ended with Tuniq Tower extreme 120. doing 4.5 on air with idle at 32c and load 57c.
