Looking very nice. I ditto saint19, if you have $80-$90 you can get a decent 120GB SSD to boost your system performance quite a bit. Good luck!
 
You should update the CPU to the new 4th gen i5's, Mobo is a bit spendy.. could get a Gigabyte/MSI modeled Z87 mobo for $100 less, and ditch the 660 for a 760 or a 770 if you have the money.
