That's one seriously powerful rig. What monitor(s) are you planning to hook up to it? 4K? Triple 1440P?

I would suggest going with the Samsung 840 Pro 256GB for the SSD. It offers better performance and warranty for the same price.

I would suggest going with Windows 8.1, to get the best gaming performance. The newer versions of DirectX aren't fully supported on Windows 7.

Other then those, looks like a very solid build.

Awesome build!! Going to be spectacular on that giant 4k TV!!

Agree about the SSD - Samsung has better performance and reliability over the Neutrons. Also, if you are getting the copper tubing, you won't have any blue tubing (it will all be copper). Lastly, you are giving up 10-20%+ fps performance on many newer games by not using Win8.1 with the updated versions of DirectX (11.1 & 11.2). I've seen reviews that BF4 gets a pretty healthy fps boost with nothing more than an OS change. But that's something you've got to decide...

I too would go with Win8.1 over Win7.  Although I was at first hesitant to make the switch because I like Win7, but Win8.1 is the future and you will get better performance. The boot up time with Win8.1 on SSD is incredible and almost worth it just for that!
