What is your budget and what are your plans for this build?
Also what parts do you need to complete your build?
I think you've got an amazing rig there for gaming, great GFX card and that processor is perfect for gaming, actually out performs a lot of the Intel ones for gaming. I wouldnt change a thing, maybe more ram but really you're good
Here is a better option, IMHO:

* CPU/CPU cooling/Mobo the same.
* RAM has LOW PROFILE heat spreaders, bit cheaper, and still at 1866 mHz.
* GPU is a good one and a bit cheaper.
* Case is a good optioin, since I fit an SSD into the budget.
* PSU is a better option, IMHO.
* Added the SSD to keep things snappier in and around the OS/games/apps.
* Total build price is cheaper too! :)
Intel option, if you want to conisder that:

If you plan on any OC'ing on the cpu I'd consider and h80i or h100i.
The PSU I haven't heard of, and to lazy to "google it", but Corsair makes great budget psu's I'd reccomend.
+1 for sticking with ASUS on the MB, them or Gigabyte is my prefrance.
+1 for the G.Skill ram
+ for lunyone
