Looks good.

You might need a mouse though...

 

I recommend getting an EVGA G2 PSU instead of the seasonic one, I think its cheaper.

Also just skip the DVD drive and buy a portable one. It looks bad to have it ruin the front of such a nice case, so a USB drive will be enough for you to install your stuff and then just unplug it and put it away when you are done.

Are you doing video/3D rendering? If not, you can just get the i5 4690k and 8GB RAM and get a GTX 980 or SLI some GTX 970s.
