This is my final gaming build that I am about to order however im thinking of not getting such an expensive CPU cooler as it is not needed that much. Any coolers you guys would recommend for this build? And is there anything you guys would change in general to this build?

Thanks for your feedback ;)

Alike @Shd0w2 said I would recommend that you only get a GTX 770 with a 2GB Frame buffer vs the 4GB model.

For gaming, you probably don't need anything more than a 212 Evo.

The stock fans are generally quite loud. The pumps are generally quiet but are often far from silent.

I changed it up a little. Hows this?

It's quite worse than what I suggested.

I mean compared to my first build that i posted... and why is my build so bad whats wrong with it?

Look back at the parts list I posted. It costs near the same amount and is considerably better. You're sacrificing performance without saving any money.
