Seems like a nice build, but do you plan on adding a second 770 in the future? 860 is a little to much PSU for a single card setup.

PSU: Corsair EVGA G2 850W  | SSD: Intel 730 Series 480GB, Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB | HDD: WD Black 1TB

Ya I know red and black is mainstream. If it makes you feel better I'm throwing in color changing leds as well (: and im adding a second 770 later.

It's a nice well rounded monitor, if your budget can handle a 1440p monitor, I would get one. 

That is if you're getting another 770, 770 isn't great by itself for 1440p.

Everything looks good apart from the cooler, a good air cooler such as the NH-D15 or NH-D14 will cool as well if not slightly better, last longer, make less noise etc. A Hyper 212 Evo will be more than enough too if you're not overclocking too much.

I was looking at those coolers but they take up so much space :(

I am definitely upgrading to 1440 in the future when I can afford a second 770. They are so nice (:
