New PC $1698 Yes or no?

[Groomer]

So I am looking at a new computer. I currently have a HD 6950, and Phenom II 965 BE, but want something new and powerful.
I use my computer for all things every day, but performance is mainly for games.

Parts in question, and price:

Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl
Corsair CX 600W
Intel Core i5-3570K
MSI Z77A-G43
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX 16GB 4x4GB 1600Hz 8-8-8-24
PowerColor Radeon HD 7970
Intel SSD 330 Series 120GB
WD Blue 1TB
Samsung DVD Writer SH-224BB
Windows 7 Home Premium OEM

Total: 1307 EUR / 1698 USD / 9850 NOK

My question is really only if I should buy these parts or if there is something wrong, or something you strongly advice against.

And yes I know it's a lot of memory.

if you want to save a bit i would go for just 8gb of ram you really don't need much after that unless hosting big servers.
