Is my build correct¿?

I'd be glad to hear your opinion of the components I choosed for my new pc (components listed below).
First of all, I want a high end pc for gaming but I´m not interested on OCing it. Thats why I choosed de H87 chipset for the asus motherboard, the intel 4770 (instead of the 4770k) and the 1600Mh trident RAM (wich I think it's well supported for both motherboard and cpu). Is this a good choice?

Components

Motherboard Asus H87 Pro
CPU Intel i7 4770 CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U14S
RAM G.Skill TridentX DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 16GB 2x8GB CL7
GPU Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC 3GB GDDR5
PSU Corsair RM750 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular
Storage Samsung 840 Evo SSD (120GB) + Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB (both SATA3)
Case Cooler Master CM Storm Enforcer
Monitor Asus VE278Q 27" LED Full HD HDMI

Also I have an important question about the cpu cooler, will the Noctua NH-U14S fit on this pc¿?
Will the monitor be good enough for gaming? I mean it can't get the 120Hz of a BenQ, but it goes on 85Hz wich I supose is enough, no?
Will my PSU be enough for this PC? (will it´s power supply be stable enough?)
I choosed the DircetCU asus GPU cause I understand it will be better cooled. But since I don't want to OC it I don't know if I will notice the difference with a non DirectCU one...

I'm not an english speaker, but I tried my best on this post xD

Than you all :)
 
You are in good shape with those parts. My thoughts are below...

MEM - The low latency Trident modules are great and at 2x8GB are one of your only options for "performance" modules without overclocking! You might consider 8GB instead of 16GB. Games will not need 16GB...
CPU Cooler - It should fit fine, however you are not overclocking so this isn't necessary. Use the stock CPU cooler or look toward less expensive Hyper 212 EVO if you want something from the aftermarket.
PSU - Good choice. If you are not planning on adding a second GTX 780Ti, you could drop that to a 550w / 650w unit and reduce costs. Stick with Antec, Corsair, XFX or Seasonic.
DISPLAY - The Asus monitor will be fine for gaming.
 
have a couple of question:
1. Won't the cpu last longer, with a better cooler?
2. I choosed tha psu cause I calculated that on hard loads it will be delivering about an 80% of its maximum power( I'm possibly wrong on my calculations xD) and I thought this would be better for supplied stability power (wich will be better for the components lifespan and the pocket xD). Am I wrong on that?

Thank for the ram's advise, I will do as you say :)
 


1 - No. It is only when overclocking that you would generate more heat and potentially shorten the life of the CPU. Without overclocking, the stock Intel CPU cooler will be perfectly fine. If you want to add cooling for peace of mind, or if the ambient room temperature will be high, look toward the Hyper 212 EVO. It is capable of handling a good overclock so at stock speeds your CPU will stay in check.

2 - With a single GTX 780 Ti the system would have a max draw around / under 500w. Maybe a 650w unit would be a good choice with some room for growth. If you do want to add a second GPU later, bump that to an 850w unit.
