The only think I would question is the overkill PSU, but I guess in terms of the overall budget $234 isn't much to fuss about.
Some of the parts where purchased a while ago that's why you may see a i7 4770 instead of a 4790 or Intel Core i7-5820K, a x99 mobo but it's still a beast build i guess.
cpu: Intel Core i7-4770 -$294.99
Mobo: Asus z97-A - $ 130
Ram: Corsair vengeance pro 2400mhz 16gb 8x2 - $153

Nice, i really wanted to get a x99 mobo and a new i7... 5820K maybe 5930K but not needed... maybe in a year or so but I'm new into computer customization and stuff so i don't really overclock
