Need final advice before purchase. Are all the parts compatible? Is the power and cooling sufficient? Are there any parts which may be overly loud?

Cheers,
 
get the low profile version of the ram

be sure to use the Australia version of pcpartpicker

Left out the screens and OS
changed to gigabyte 670's (cheaper, cooler and faster)
changed to OCZ Vector, lower peak but more sustained avg speeds overall
Changed to a USB3 can cooler looking case
Changed to a better cooler

Low profile or this can happen with the ram (it will fit but ram doesn't need the cooler and why bother with the issue)
