This is the current part summary I have for this build. I just had a few direct questions. If you have tips or advice besides those please add :)

Monitor:

Case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147158

I read that I should use the door as Exhaust and not intake because it causes lower pressure therefore lower temperatures. Do you think this holds true?

Do you think the psu below would need a 4pin or 8pin extension for my setup? The case is really tall, so I think yeah

PSU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151110
Are the cables long enough to link to my thor v2? People say the GPU gets in the way of connecting the 8pin so you cant use cable management. Some PSU's barely reach even without using cable management. Will I need an extension? Where could I get one?

Motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
Should I get a different one? I would upgrade a second gtx 670 in the future if I needed more performance

CPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072
Which cooler should I use to overclock to 4.5ghz on air?

CPU Fan:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065
Should be a good air cooler from reviews. Do you think I should add a second fan to it? Should the second fan be intake or exhaust

Memory:

Two sticks of 4gb. I doubt anyone needs more than 16gb anyway. So why bother getting 2 8gb right?

SSD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148442
This one had the LEAST bad reviews for failure and most of them are 8 months or longer before failure. Should I stick with it?

GPU: GTX 670
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814130785
OR
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814162118

I want to know if I should buy 2 4gb cards (in the future) or do 2 or 3 GTX 670's run good in sli without 4gb?

Why Ivy Bridge if im running a GTX 670, if it runs hotter? Only benefit is the Intel HD Graphics 4000
