a much better case for the components you are choosing, a caviar black as the secondary drive and at least h80i if you are planning to overclock your cpu.

I'd suggest

- getting a much better case, massive high end system is a relatively small case.
- a kingston hyper X K or samsung evo ssd.
- caviar black drive over the standard drive.
- extra warranty for a fiver.
- change the mobo to one of the Z97 boards and the cpu to an I7 4790K. - probably cheaper and similar performance, if not better.
- ditch the soundcard, - unless you have a high end system. Even then, i personally wouldn't want a creative sound card - they dont have a good reputation imo.

Drop the 780ti, get the 6gb 780 OR the r9295x2.
Any i7 will do, though I'd stick with a quad core because they perform slightly better per core.
