Could someone give me pro feedback on this build and tell me if it's worth my cash.. I'll be using an Area 51 7500 case from alienware

Good build for future? Is it cost effective?

the CM hyper212 is not cut out to cool haswell at a high OC, recommend a better one there.
I'd recommend a gaming orientated board for LAN settings, like the gigabyte gaming x
16gb is not needed unless rendering
get a bigger SSD
really need a 780ti? the premium over the 780 vs the performance boost isn't worth it for most people.
1000W seems like overkill

You don't need a blu-ray player, its a waste of money in my opinion.
PSU wise, 1000w is way overkill. You probably need a good 850w to have an overclocked SLI build.
Unless you already have a hard drive you can use as a storage drive, I'd recommend getting a storage drive, at least 1 TB. Otherwise, go with what woltej1 said, get a bigger SSD.
Motherboard, maybe get an ASRock z97x killer.
RAM, you can get ram that is just as effective for 30$ difference.

If you plan on running a high overclock, get a r9 290x with an aftermarket cooler which is more cost efficient and still runs very well, and go with a stronger cooler.
