Great build!

It's a good build and I highly recommend X79 for higher-end systems but I really do not like the Level 10. 1200W is a bit overkill unless you're running like 4-way 680 SLI. You could get a 1050 and be fine.

If you can get the Cooler Master Cosmos II - I'd recommend it over the Level 10 in half a second: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119252

You're also using dual channel RAM on a quad channel system - get this instead for RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231501

I don't care much for the Level 10, but the Level 10 GT is a very nice case, though a bit expensive. A fiend of mine has one and I will be using one on my new build. Lots of room, lots of features and it's a lot more interesting than a typical "box" case.

More on topic, the build looks great but for a build of this caliber, I would seriously consider an SSD for a boot drive.

You don't need the rampage, try this:

thanks for the advice, i just swapped the ram order out for the ram g-unit suggested i do like the level 10 gt better than that case tho but thats just me.

so are there any other suggestions to improve this build?

and i might also get the SSD drive for the boot drive like Elwenil suggested

and i still prefer the rampage mainly cause ill never use more than 16 gb of ram, and i do like having the 4way SLI option available to me

but thanks again everyone, ur comments are helpful
if u have any suggestions let me know.

i hate the level 10 one of the ugliest things around so many better cases for less antec, silverstone, corsair to name a few brands with plenty of models from them, i wasnt aware they were doing 4 gb 680's, but nice build all the same. more money they i am willing to afford
