This is what I have so far, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3fUZJ, it's going to be mostly for gaming. Want to replace my old computer as it's starting to get too long to load and I have to start lowering graphical settings on all the new games.

Just wanted to make sure they're all compatible with enough other or if the power supply is too much/small or if a part is too expensive for it's performance. Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed as well.

I believe something like this would be a better use of your money. The i5 4670k is just as good as the i7 4770k for gaming, because games can't use hyper threading. You also don't need more than 8gb of ram, the ASUS gpu has a better cooler than the EVGA one, and I added an hdd for more storage. Other than that, I swapped some of your parts with higher quality components. I also put in an 850w psu so you can add a second gpu in a few years when they're cheaper, but if you don't want to do that, you could go with a 650w one.
