No reason to waste money on 16GB of RAM just for gaming. Buy 8GB now and use the money saved from that to upgrade your CPU to an i5-4690k, which is on sale for $210 right now at newegg. It's usually a $240 CPU, and Tom's Hardware lists it as their best recommended gaming CPU.

Your build will come out about $40 more because you'll need a Z97 board if you want to overclock that 4690k. You might consider a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO heatsink/fan instead for the same price as that Rosewill one.

Ya if you plan on crossfire in the future that would be a good choice
 
The i5-4690k at $210 is such a great deal right now. I wish I had the money for it today, because I'll probably end up buying a locked i5-4590 later on for $10 less since this CPU will likely be back up to $240 or so pretty soon.
