Don't buy. With an $1800 build, you should have at least a single GTX 970, maybe even SLI 970's or a GTX 980. GTX 760 is wayyy too low end for an $1800 build. Z97 motherbord is a waste of money with an i5-4590 since the 4590 can't be overclocked. If you want to overclock, you need a "k" class CPU, such as the 4690k or 4790k.
What will you be using this PC for? If it's gaming, there is no need for 16GB RAM. If it's going to be used for editing/rendering, you'd benefit more from an 8 thread CPU, such as a Xeon or i7, more than 16GB RAM.
Send the case back, seriously. There's no need for such a large case. There are many nicer cases or a better price. I wouldn't get that CPU cooler. If you're not overclocking(which you can't), stock cooler is fine anyway. Don't pay for an OS, get it for free, it's not hard and gives you a little extra money for components. I have the same case fans, can't put them down, never had a problem with mine.
I'd get a better keyboard and I wouldn't get brown switches, I'd get either red or blue, unless browns are your preferred Cherry MX switch? $270 is too much to pay for a 1080p monitor, especially one without a vesa mount.
What is your full budge and what do you need?

My full budget is about 2000$ and it will be used for both editing and gaming. I'm looking for something that will last me a 4-5 years and that is reliable. Thank you Rot for all your help I really do appreciate it. I need everything EXCEPT the case because the Newegg return policy is up. I'm sorry As always.

NewEgg won't work properly for me right now for whatever reason so I've just used PCPP;

Buy it all from NewEgg and it'll come to around $2k, maybe $10 or so over, after delivery. You can add another 980 in SLI in the future if you wish.
