first off all your build is overkill for gaming pc i5 4670k or i5 4690k would be fine for gaming pc you will not notice any extra advantage using i7 just for gaming.Plus the 16 gigs ram is too much 6 gb is recommended so 8 gb is what u need.
u have not mentioned about the psu so i would suggest u a EVGA G2 750 watt psu its more that wht u need but it comes with 10 years of warranty so u dont have to worry about another psu in the next 10 years and u will have plenty of space for upgrade in future.So i will say its a good investment and PSU is one of the most important of your pc .LINK : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017&cm_re=evga_g2_750-_-17-438-017-_-Product
