Hey everything looks good in your build.  The only thing that I would reconsider would be a different SSD. Go with something like the Samsung 840 Pro or the Kingston HyperX 3k. Both are really good drives and while you will pay a little more for the Samsung, it is one of the best on the market right now and as for the Kingston, thats actually the drive I use and it performs great and is really reliable. The only other thing I could think of would be if you have about 50 extra bucks go for the AMD FX-8350 it is 199.99 at Newegg.

Wow, that is quite the system. I have a system that I built with an AMD FX-6300 and the card I am currently running is a Sapphire Radeon HD 6850. Here are the stats on this slightly older card.

 The other system I have has an i5 2500K and I just put a HIS H7870 2GB card into that system. What I am trying to say is that with the muscle you have in that card would you not want to take advantage of everything it has to offer including PCI-E 3.0? To date there is not an AMD system that has that bandwidth slot. There is the possible exception of the ASUS Sabertooth 990 V2.0 with a driver update. Personally if I put that much into my card and power unit then I would go with an Intel i5 or i7 chip and board to utilize all that is available to me. This is of course just my official 2 cents worth.
