I'd go for an high-end air cooler instead of the H100. It will perform just as good without having to spend as much. H100 has no advantage over high end air coolers.
If you insist in water cooling, get a quality custom loop, not pseudo water cooling like H100.
A GTX 670 is a better buy than the GTX 680, almost exactly the same performance for significantly cheaper.
I think you should at least aim for the GT version of the Force 3, if not a better SSD overall, preferably a 256GB.
drums101, optical drives are pretty useless. In the past 4 years, I think I've only had to use my optical drive 3 times - not even for installing Windows. Flash drives and digital copies have made optical drives obsolete. One of the reason why my recently built rig doesn't have an optical drive either. But hey, it's only $20 for one...

A custom loop water cooler would perform better than the H100. Less chances of leaks, cools better, and better pump.

They come in red. I believe most 240/256GB drives are faster than the 120/128GB versions. Personally, I prefer the Mushkin Deluxe Chronos, Samsung 830, OCZ Vertex 4, Corsair Performance Pro, or Plextor M3 Pro over the Force GT.

For a cpu cooler, even a cm hyper212 is enough.
The H100 is expensive, noisy, less reliable and does not cool any better than a good air cooler in a well ventilated case.
The Noctua NH-D14 is about as good as it gets.
For gaming, 16gb of ram is overkill. But ram is cheap.
What you don't need is ram faster than 1600.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4503/sandy-bridge-memory-...
Also, get low profile ram to avoid any cpu cooler clearance issues. 1.5v ram really does not need any heat spreaders at all.
You have picked a very expensive P67 motherboard capable of triple sli.
You should be able to buy a z77 based motherboard for half the price.
Something like this ASUS P8Z77-V LK:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Unless you are planning a triple monitor gaming a single GTX680 will be all you need.
If you ever need more, trade it in for a GTX690 or son of kepler.

Corsair 750W 750HX ATX2.3 this psu is probally also good enough for this setup?Corsair is a very good brand.
750w is plenty for any single graphics card made today.
The GTX670 only needs a good 500w psu, and probably can even do with less.
If you will sli GTX670, you are probably ok, not that I recommend that.

would thees ram choices be betther?G.Skill 16GB (4x4GB) Ares DDR3-1600, 8-8-8, 1.5V or Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) HyperX Blu, 1600MHz DDR3, CL10, 240-pin 1.5v
I like the low heat spreaders of each, but prefer the 2 x 8gb configuration.
Z77 costs no more, but it is a more modern chipset with some potentially useful features. hard drive cacheing, for example.

the H100 put up just as good numbers as the best air cooled solutions, and cost a lot less than a custom loop... The key benefit to an H100 is easy access to the motherboard / components, including RAM & CPU... Oh and they are about 2 lbs lighter

Oh and they are about 2 lbs lighterLike I said, performance of the best air coolers and the H100 are about the same. But the H100 is a lot louder in order to keep up with air cooling. If you replace the fans with quieter ones, you might as well buy a custom loop OR just get high end air cooling. Don't forget about possible leaking and what not. Sure Corsair will cover any damaged parts, but you might be weeks without a computer.
The OP is getting a full tower so there is plenty of room to access components even with a big heatsink. As long as he gets heatsink-less ram, there should be no problems. Oh and I've never heard of a mobo snapping from the weight of a heatsink...
