Hey there Huntyoudown20,

 

The build generally looks good. Is this a gaming build or you are planning on doing other things? 

WD Green may not be he best choice for a standalone boot drive. I would suggest to check out some SSDs for great performance, short laoding and boot times and very responsive system. Also, if you prefer to stay with a HDD I would suggest to check out WD Blue and WD Black as better-performance alternatives:

WD Blue: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=97dMN3

Couple questions:

 

Why a z87 motherboard? 4790K is a Haswell Refresh chip which may not work on that motherboard out of the box... I'd suggest getting a z97 motherboard to prevent any issues. They should be similarly priced anyway?

 

750d is going to be humongous and your build inside will look tiny. To each his own I guess, but I'd get a smaller case. Then use the money left over on a 980ti

 

No SSD?

 

4690k will equal 4790k when it comes to gaming performance in 99% of scenario's. If gaming is your primary concern, save money there to buy yourself an SSD boot drive.

 

This is what I'd do:
