So, i will be getting my rig very soon with the following specs:

CPU: i7 4770
Mobo: Gigabytes H87M-D3H
RAM: Kingston HyperX 8gb x2-16gb 1600mhz
SSD: Plextor M5s 128GB
HDD: WD 1TB Blue
VGA: Leadtek GTX 770
PSU: Seasonic S12II 620W
Chassis: Corsair Obsidian 350D
ODD: DVD Lite On
Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S 140mm U-type Tower

What do you guys think?
Would very appreciate all your suggestions:)

 
If you are gaming, get an i5. It will perform identical to the i7. No point in wasting money for no performance. Also, unless you get a K series CPU AND a Z87 motherboard and plan to overclock, drop the CPU cooler.

Same goes for the RAM. 8gb is more than enough for games and will be for years. Games still use 4gb MAX. 16gb won't improve anything for gaming. It won't even do anything. It will just sit there, unused.
