Like I've sorted all things out. Give me any kinda suggestions. I'm buying it in one week.

CPU: AMD FX 8350
MoBo: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Cooler: Corsair H100i
GPU: Sapphire Vapor-X HD 7950 Boost 2-way crossfire
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 2*4GB
PSU: Seasonic 750W Fully modular 80plus gold certified
SSD: Samsung 840 series 128GB
HDD: WD Caviar Green 2TB
Case: still stuck between NZXT Switch 810 or CM Storm Stryker
 
Haswell will be out within a week. Care to wait?

That aside, the build is a tad expensive for what you get out of it. I would drop the motherboard to something cheaper. Get the Dual-X cards because it appears that the Vapor-X editions of that card is voltage locked. And WD Green do not make good HDD.

As for the case, NZXT Switch 810 has far better cooling capabilities than the Cooler Master Storm Stryker. But the Cooler Master Storm Stryker has far better build quality. The NZXT Switch 810 has a lot of plastic components and no carrying handle so it's not only hard to move but if you're not careful, you can unintentionally break something.
