If you are not overclocking the CPU you could get the non-k version and the triple copper heatpipe instead. Your motherboard supports SLI but you need to upgrade your PSU, if you are not planning to add a 2nd gtx 770 you could downgrade the motherboard. And you could consider a caviar black as the secondary drive, it should be faster than the one you selected.

Very similar spec to my rig, and it handles all games with ease, CPU idles at 30c and gaming never goes over 50c, looks good although personally I would go for Win 7, but thats up to you :yes:

I'm planning on overclocking so I was considering the Z87-A because of the added VRM phases, good point on the SLI however as I only ever see myself using single cards. Is there a huge difference between the H60 and the H80i? I have heard very good things about them and I am not to phased about the HDD speed as it will be Raid 0'ed with the 1Tb drive I have here.

Is this crazy or will that 6300 be able to keep up with that GTX 780~? Purely seeing what people think!

I had a H40 in my original spec and was advised against it as they use a cheap fan which runs all the time (apparently) so I went for the H60 which is working great.
