My concerns with that build are the cooler for one as the Swiftech gives much lower temps 

In addition the dark rock pro may conflict with ram in addition why 1866? there is very little performance gains 

expect from compression and decompression.

The R4 wile being a good case would run hotter and is slightly more than the Arch midi R2

 

The i7 is nice 

The 780 gaming while being a beast of a card is still based on the reference PCB I think if am going to be paying that much for a card then i would very much like a fully custom card e.g. the Asus 780 or the MSI 780 Lightning. I would very much like to have physx and other Nivida technologies

Also is XFX a reliable power supply brand?
