I need a PSU for a gaming PC. The PSU that I chose is by SeaSonic.

Great build.
I strongly suggest you go for a 4770K unlocked processor instead of just the 4770
Your amazing z87board extreme4 will help you overclock it to great speeds later when needed.
You could buy a good cooler and start overclocking if you ever needed to but youcant upgrade to a K series cpu without spending a lot of money.
The extra $30 is going to help you a lot more than what its worth.

As far as the Power Supply goes, the best for gaming in my opinion for a good price is the Corsair CX Series, they come in everything up to 1000W and all have high amperage on a single rail so with all the PCI-e connectors you could need. It's the only ones I buy.

Seasonic makes power supplies for Corsair.
The M12ii is a killer PSU for his build, which will help him a lot later in overclocking.

Have a look at this and you will get to know more about the M12 and CX

Since I have decided to get the intel i7 4770K, what would be a cpu cooler that is good for overclocking?
Thanks to all for responding. xD

Would this be a suitable CPU cooler for overclocking?

I suggest you save for now and later get the h100.
Your 4770k can run a great deal of games, but you might need the extra boost later on if evry high cpu intensive games release etc.
Hyper 212 is great but will not be enough for the capabilities of the processor.
You can get this or use the stock right now and get an upgrade later, that will be the best option.
