I am an amateur building so i look to those with more experience to rate my build so far. I plan on ordering tonight or tomorrow. ALL opinions appreciated. Links will go to newegg although prices will have me getting some items elsewhere.

Case: Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced - High air flow full tower
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

MOBO: Asus Z87-Pro V-edition
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

CPU: Intel i7-4770K 3.5

GPU: Geforce GTX 770 4Gb
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

RAM- G.Skill Ripjaw X series- 16Gb (2X8) 2133
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Storage: Primary: 256gb SSD undecided
Secondary: 1 TB 7200 undecided

PSU: Corsair HX series 850W
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

CPU Cooler- Corsair Hydro series H100i Extreme
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

I probably will downgrade the CPU cooler...i figured it would be overkill even when i OC the CPU...but it just looks cool so i threw it on there :)  My goal is to do this...then my next build will be a Super High end with A custom cooling system CPU, GPU in SLI, etc . Again..any opinions are appreciated!

Nice parts that'll make you a kick@$$ system. I personally would stick with the stock cooler for now (you can easily push the 4770K on stock HSF above 4GHz), have maybe half the RAM, 2x4GB 1600MHz (RAM speed would have barely 1%-2% difference, at best) and put that money into getting a GTX 780 instead.

Thanks ..i probably will drop the cooler or atleast downgrade...

As far as memory speed...and forgive me because i am an amateur :) . .. My understanding is that the faster speeds help raise and sustain minimum FPS....and reduce the pop ins and tearing. OR is that not even an issue with the 770 power or the 780 with current demands?

You are thinking of VRAM, the memory that is built into the graphic card, non system RAM.

Ammount of pop-in mainly depends on the game engine (the software with which the game is made). Screen tearing occurs when the GPU cannot render every part of the screen at the same speed, as in, the simpler parts get rendered faster and the more complex parts of the scene take longer, hence the picture appearing broken. Screen tearing happens even with 3x 780Ti running in SLI, and the universal method to effectively remove it is by using the v-sync function, to lock the frame rate at the refresh rate of the monitor.
