You should have got 2 x 4GB of memory to use dual-channel. And if you plan to overclock that 4770k you will need an aftermarket CPU cooler. Other than that, good choices.

Looks good. I'd get two sticks of 4gb ram instead of one stick of 8 to take advantage of dual channel. It'll perform a little better. Also, if this is strictly for gaming, you can downgrade your CPU to the i5 4670k, and you won't have any performance drop. Your PSU is overkill, but nice to have in case you go crossfire in the future. Nice system.

At this moment I had money for one stick but in the future going to get CPU cooler, SSD and another stick as I need 16GB for 3D modelling software.

This is more of a workstation for gaming, streaming games live, a lot of 3D modelling software for uni and lots of video editting.

I see now. In that case, perfect choices. It'll be really nice once you get the SSD in there and a 2nd stick of ram. Good luck building it!

Yep, here are some benchmarks on battlefield 4, probably the most gpu demanding game out right now.

1920x1080
45+fps on ultra, 75+fps on high settings.

Is that just a standard r9 280x? because my one is clocked at 1000Mhz which is 150 faster than basic one.
If so how much preformance am i looking at?
Also im using my tv which is at 1920x1200 resolution
