Looks good! I'd step up to the Asus Z87-A as the Z87-K has limited overclockability due to it's small number of power phases--in tests the Z87-A was able to overclock a 4770k to 4.6GHz, 100MHz behind the much more expensive Maximus VI Hero, so it's a great overclocking board.

If you don't want to overclock, then keep the Z87-K and get the i5-4570 to save a little money.

With two 770's you'll be able to play any and all games at max settings and 60+FPS at 1080p so you're good on that front.

Good memory, good power supply, only thing you might want is a 64-128gb SSD for Windows and a few of your most played games--it does wonders making your system feel zippy.
 
Power supply is extreme overkill. Drop to 750w-850w and save money.

If you do drop to a 4570, don't keep the Z87-K, as that would be a waste of money.

For a gaming computer, get 8GB of RAM and save yourself $60. 16GB isn't necessary at all.

I would also grab at least a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO if you plan on overclocking.
 
It's a little overkill, but with two 770s and overclocking 1000w ain't a bad thing to have.

If you're tight on money, drop to 8gb, if not keep the 16gb--it's really nice to have for any productivity software like Photoshop you may be using.
