You have way too much power in this system, 1275 watts is entirely too much for a single 670. Unless you plan to do 4 way sli, bump it down to 750 watts maximum. The 7950 performs better in many games, so consider it also.

I would not get some less exorbitant ram and put that savings towards getting a 7970 and the h100 or h100i for better cpu cooling.

The case is your call, but I prefer the corsair 800d and the nzxt phantom 820 to the level 10's strange design both for aesthetic reasons and practical ones.
