Hi,
I've been saving up for a long time and I finally have enough cash to spend on a new system. With the help of an IT-capable friend, I was able to come up with my dream build! But, just like most IT amateurs, we selected the parts based on my liking, however we couldn't determine if they are actually compatible with each other or not. So, I'd really appreciate it if you could just write a sentence or two describing your opinion.

Here's my build:
CPU: Intel BX80646I54690K Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz 6MB LGA1150 Haswell Refresh Boxed CPU
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H Intel Z97 4xDDR3/3xPCI-Ex16/HDMI/DVI/D-SUB/Intel GbELAN/ATX Motherboard
SSD: Samsung 840BW EVO MZ-7TE250BW 250G SATAIII Solid State Drive SSD
Graphics Card: Gigabyte R929OC-4GD 4GB R9-290 OC PCI-E VGA Card
RAM: G.Skill Trident-X 16GB Kit (8Gx2) DDR3-2400 F3-2400C10D-16GTX
Power Supply: Antec TPC-750 750W True Power Classic 80Plus Gold Power Supply Unit
Optical Drive: ASUS Black/24x DVD-RW Writer Retail Packing
Hard Drive: Seagate 3.5" Barracuda 2TB ST2000DM001 SATA3 7200rpm 64MB Cache Hard Disk
CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper-212 EVO Universal CPU Cooler
Monitor: 27” 4ms BenQ EW2740L Slim Bezel
Case: Thermaltake VN700M1W2N Overseer RX-I Mid Tower with Docking / USB3.0 without PSU

The whole system, including monitor and peripherals, would cost around AUD$1,900. I'm planning to use it predominantly on gaming, as well as for some light drafting with AutoCad and Sketchup.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks.
P.S. I inserted the exact same specs into an online compatibility checker. This is what I got:
The G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory operating voltage of 1.65V exceeds the Intel Haswell Refresh CPU recommended maximum of 1.5V+5% (1.575V). This memory module may run at a reduced clock rate to meet the 1.5V voltage recommendation, or may require running at a voltage greater than the Intel recommended maximum.
