I have built it like this because I want opportunity to upgrade. I chose a big enough PSU so i can add a second video card(it is 2 way SLI capable) and more RAM if i need to in the future.

EDIT:
I have edited the parts list with the parts listed below, and I still need suggestions! Anything would help! Thanks in advance!

There is no advantage to getting old parts like the 3rd gen i7. Just switching to new parts makes this build 100% better.

I understand why you went with 1X8GB RAM and that's fine because you want to upgrade to 2X8GB in the future. I also understand why you chose the 4GB GTX770 for future SLI, the not only is the 4GB R9 290 a lot faster, it's also cheaper. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Good suggestions, however I don't agree with the power supply. It is a bronze standard, so It is not a high quality one. I think i will stay with my current one.

Alright, I updated it with your suggestions. I have added the PSU so far, but I do not like the fact that it is not modular at all. Can you suggest me a similar one, that is full modular please? I know it will cost more, but it is a lot easier to work with, and since this would be my first PC build, I would prefer everything goes smoothly.
