I am also getting a Razer Deathadder Chroma, Blue Snowball mic, and a corsair k70 RGB

anything I need to change other than CPU since I already ordered it.

You need a lot of changes in this build as the selection in my opinion is not good at all.
Your CPU is a lot more powerful whilst the GPU isn't. It's basically a 2GB graphics card with added 2GB VRAM that won't be fully utilised.
And also superbly overkill power supply and with a 200R case that doesn't provide ideal quality for a 1400 dollar build.

I would say your build needs a big overhaul. You can do a lot better for that budget, with the right selection you can gain 30-40% of performance in games for the same budget.

The Arc Midi R2 is very limited on stock so if you're interested get it quick. It's a good case for a very good price.

I see you already ordered the CPU. See if you can get the build provided without CPU Cooler included maybe.

Same performance as w/HT (No OC'ing though), but at a lower cost. The 290x is plenty for most people, but is a bit better than GTX 970 (consumes more power though):

I think I forgot to add that I plan on editing alot and I use the Asus z87 as my motherboard is for 2 way crossfire. I was also told that the r9 380 is better than the 290x and is around the same as GTX 970. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[lunyone]

The 380 is about equivalent to the 280/280x. The z87 is an older Mobo and if your going to get the 4790k/4690k I would recommend a Z97 based Mobo, since it probably won't need a BIOS update to run the 4690k/4790k.

Anandtechs info on the R9 380 (a little over 1/2 way down the page):

Like the other cards in today’s launch, the R9 380 has seen a spec bump compared to its predecessor. The boost clock is up by about 6% from 918MHz to 970MHz, and the memory clock is unchanged, holding at 5.5Gbps. No other changes have been made, and the other specifications such as the number of CUs (28), the number of ROPs.(32), and the number of memory controllers (4) remains identical to R9 285.

I don't see anything bad with a BIOS update and I'll consider changing my graphics card. Thanks for help! Btw what do you think of my peripherals?

 

[lunyone]

Oh so you own the Z87 Mobo already?
Your accessories are usually a personal preference, but they look to be pretty good options (not ones that I'd probably buy, due to cost, but good ones nonetheless).

 

[RCFProd]

R9 380 = R9 285 is more or less equal to the GTX 960. The R9 290 is close to the GTX 970. So you can tell the R9 290 is a lot better than the R9 285.

If you already own the Z97 motherboard It's fine.

I think you meant the Z87 mobo, not the Z97, right?

Yeah
