If I were you, I would get a cheaper cooler and a better 990FX motherboard.

Why is your cooler almost as expensive as your CPU? :D

 

Get a cheaper cooler so you can get an SSD for your boot drive and games. Also a cheaper PSU if you're not planning on SLI in the future.

Maybe a better motherboard and an SSD? The PSU is also a bit overkill. Other than that, it's good.

If you think you can live with the speed of a hard drive, then that looks pretty good. But SSD's are REALLY nice. Trust me. If you really want one, get a 770 and get one, and then sell the 770 in the Classifieds later on and then get whatever card you want.

My recommendations: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/3e1TL

Move the rear fans to the front for intake. Arctic F12 PWM CO for rear exhaust.
