The ROG boards are overpriced as it is, and you'd either want a K (unlocked) CPU for the Z97 chipset, or go for a H97 or other chipset with the non K CPU. 

 

I would advise going with an MSI Z97 Gaming 5 board and a 4690K. It should be cheaper and perform better. 

 

I'd go for a cheaper SSD too. The 850 Pro is not worth the price. Something like an 840/850 EVO is a good SSD for the price. 

 

PSU is overkill. 600W is more than enough for this build. This PSU is a better choice http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss650km

 

Or you could go for the EVGA 750w G2 if you plan on SLI.
