I've built several desktops over the years, but almost all were lower-end (for family). After my laptop got old and caught dementia, I want to replace it with a great desktop. Can you please look this over and give feedback on what I might have forgot, what isn't necessarily needed, better options, etc? And, most importantly, that it all plays together nicely?
Thanks for your help and time, it is absolutely appreciated!

All are very good, but the PSU is ? marker. I recommend to change the PSU to this SeaSonic G-750 SSR-750RM 750W.
From the review, even you sli the gtx770 that PSU can handle it. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_770_sli_review,4.html

Add: Sorry, the G-750 is not compatible haswell, get this SeaSonic M12II 750 if you sli 2x gtx770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151107&clickid=Wl7SXqSr4S4iwuEV46RXGSnKUkTW7lRPtyKbWA0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na or if you use single one get this Antec HCG M Series HCG-620M...
