Cheaper & Better. 😛
I took the i5 4670K for it's price / performance over the i7 4770K. And not many games benefit from 4+ threads (games like BF4 and Crysis 3 benefit from it but i don't know what you'll be playing).

Your build is cheaper but You've selected pricey parts!

Like you did with the overkill PSU and the $60 Optical? 😛
Edit: *Ah nvm OP wanted the PSU and Optical. 😛
It's not underkill it still holds 44amps on the 12v.
And the Haswell comp is not needed anyway.

It has enough amps on 12v rail but it's still 550W while nvidia requires 600W and it's not good to run your PSU at 80~90% of full load!
Also are sure that not certified PSU will run good without problem with stability?

It's 80+ Bronze right? It's always better to get Gold but it should suffice.
Nvidia thinks you overclock the *beep* out of every part in your system.
With CPU and GPU at load it will need about 300~350w (NO OVERCLOCK) and full it will run @ about 400~450w.
But you can't upgrade to a 2nd in SLI. So thats why i asked the OP if he wanted to upgrade his system later down the road.
Since nvidia's 800 series is bound to be released in 2015 the 700 series will become cheaper by the end of the year. So its a nice moment for getting a 2nd one for SLI. But thats for the OP to decide. 😛 (not sure about the release date though)
Also @ OP: Get a 1080p monitor. Saved you some money with the build for one. 😛
OK! but are you sure that this PSU will run system without issues???
And yes. Though he won't be able to do a beast OC like 4.5+ Ghz (the i5 4670K is a poor OC'er so it probably won't get higher then 4.1ghz). But he should still be able to get it to 4.0ghz without overloading the PSU with huge peaks.
My suggestion: do a light OC (3.8ghz~) also because of the cooler.
