It's been since 8 years since my last build. So a lot has changed. I researched for about 2 months before putting this set up together. I will use this for gaming only. Also want it to make it look a little cool hence the cooler master v8 GTS. I might add another 780TI.

I was think of doing the haswellE but it's too new and cost too much so I ll wait out until they work out the bugs. I also know the GTX 980 comes out this week. But I ll do a 780TI until the 980TI hopefully comes out.

What do you guys think?

I already have the Asus Swift monitor and the 780TI coming so can't change that.

Your storage options seem a little strange to me. Are you going to use the 120 as OS, the 500 as apps, and the 4TB as bulk storage? or is there something I am missing being planned? If your useing the 120 as an OS drive, and the 500 for programs you might be better served by dropping the 120, and just going with the 500 for both OS, and programs. You will not see much (if any) differance in boot or load times. May want to consider a RAID 1, or 5 storage array, as right now your one drive failure from data loss.

I'm using the 120 for Boot and music. And the 500gb just for steam and games. The other 4TB for storage only. Ok I'm not very familiar with the RAID set ups so I will have to look that up. Thanks for the input

You most likly can save yourself a few bucks and just put the OS on the 500, and music on the bulk storage. You don't really need super fast hard drives for music. Other than that, nice looking rig... the 780TI might be overkill, but... is your money, and already spent, so might as well enjoy it!
