Here you go Carbon. Got all your must haves. Not sure on your desire for HDD/SSD so I put 1 of each per OS. Also upgraded to the 780ti GPU. Rock solid.

Let me know if you need anything changed out.
Here is a link to video showing the radiator mounted to top in the selected case. Brackets included in the case hardware. FYI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrv9_2LxFRA

Here is a build with GPU upgraded to the Titan. This build will last you for years. Right at 3K

Everything is fine except change your ram for a 4x4 config with 1866 MHz and get a GTX 780/GTX 780Ti and your set
