That is a good build but you have to rethink the power supply and maybe you can balance your components out better.

For example you can switch the i7-4790k and Z97 motherboard with a Xeon E3-1231 V3 and a H97 motherboard which allows you to spend for example on either 16GB RAM or a better graphics card. Why the Xeon? Because It's the same processors as the i7-4000 series but with a slightly lower clock speed and no onboard graphics.

Anyways, replace the power supply with a Tier 2 unit which you can choose here (Anything above 500w is enough) :
