Please answer the stickied "ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS FIRST!" so that we can help you better.

Also, some additional questions:

Your PSU should be good to go:
€ 280 - Intel Core i7-4770K CPU
€ 118 - AsRock Fatal1ty Z87 Killer Intel Z87 Motherboard
€ 63 - Corsair CMV8GX3M1A1600C11 8GB DDR3 1600 RAM
€ 268 - MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB PCI-E Video Card
€ 38 - Cooler Master Seidon 120V Liquid Cooling System
---
Total: €767

Now you have an overclock capable setup that should play games fairly well.
 
8GB of RAM is enough for gaming. For VMWare however, that's largely dependent on how many VMs you're planning on running. Any more than two VMs and I would recommend getting 16GB of RAM at the minimum.
