Hello guys!
I was wondering if you might give me some feedback on the setup I have here:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/33x6i
In addition to this I also plan to have 3 extra computer case fans [3x140mm].

I would like to know if I should go with the i5 4670k instead of 4770k. I will not overclock the CPU.

Will the setup be good for overclocking the Graphics card? Will the temperature be low enough with all the fans?

Should I go with 1866 Mhz RAM instead of 1600Mhz? Is there a noticable difference in speed?

Thank you all for your time and feedback! Please also give detailed answers so I know the reason to your thoughts!

For a gaming PC you went WAY overboard in a lot of places. This setup would do the same performance for $450 less:

Why go with a K version at all if youre not going to over clock the CPU, go with the i5 save some money since for gaming it will not make a difference.

You also will not notice a difference in the two RAM speeds.

As for the GPU you could probably do a bit of OC on it.

If you're not overclocking you don't need a Z87 board. ANd 1600 is the way to go, there's no perceptible difference in performance. You also wouldn't need the additional fans with a single GPU and not overclocking the CPU.
