A bit excessive in some parts and not enough in others. And your case is incompatible with your motherboard.

I would:
1. Drop the CPU for an Intel Core i5-3350P and drop the motherboard to a ASRock 990FX Extreme4 or an AMD FX-6300.
2. Do you need 256GB of SSD space? If not drop it to 120-128GB.
3. Drop the H100i cooler for a Noctua NH-D14. CLCs are not worth it. Expensive and doesn't outperform a simple heatsink. If you want water cooling, get a custom kit and not get a Corsair H series. They are not true water cooling.
4. Drop the case for one that fits. Depending on your budget, I'd recommend an Antec Three Hundred Two or an Antec One.
5. Drop the PSU for a 650W (non-SLI / non-CrossFire) or a 750W (SLI / CrossFire) from a more reputable manufacturer such as Antec, Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, or XFX. The best price/performance one is the Corsair TX 650W V2.
6. So that's a lot of money saved. Upgrade your GPU to a GTX 670 or GTX 7970. I recommend a GTX 7970 because it's the better of the two, but if you're an nvidia fan, then get the GTX 670.
7. As for HDD, get 2x 1TB instead of 1x 2TB. Seasonic Barracuda is good. Western Digital Black is better if you don't mind paying extra.

I pretty much agree with most of these points. However I do have a different opinion on overclocking than most of the regulars here. And that is if you don't know what you are doing, don't do it. The wrong voltage can fry your motherboard and take most of your components with it. I'd tread very carefully if it's your first time - it's not like jumping head first in the deep end of the swimming pool. Wade in the shallow end first.

The thing is though is most games make more use of the GPU and less use of the CPU. There's a few rare exceptions to the rule like Crysis but few if any games use the resources Crysis does.

Here's what I would suggest:

The i5-3470 and 7870 XT will handle pretty much anything you can throw at it. With the difference use that toward getting a nice 1440P display and whatever keyboard and mouse you want.
