First of all. You're not fitting that H320 in that Level 10. Maximum RAD support is 2x120mm RAD. The 320 is 3x120mm. You may want to reconsider the case as Thermaltake's at the moment aren't very good for water cooling. I'm not a TT basher either, I have my old rigs in Armor and Armor+.

Second of all. Go Samsung EVO SSD. Much better SSD than a Kingston.

Are you ever going to put a 2nd or 3rd video card in the rig? If Not, 1300W is overkill. You can go 850W eVGA SuperNOVA G2 Gold (NOT "NEX" SERIES) if you only have one card and 1000W P2 Platinum/G2 Gold if you only have two cards.

You may want to test the on-board sound before you buy a sound card. The sound on board the Rampage is very good.

2 780TI? You need to choose a case first. If you want to use that CPU cooler, look for a case with 3x120mm water cooling radiator support. You might want to look at the Phantek's Enthoo Primo Full Tower.

I'd go with the G.SKILL for the RAM, Corsairs are awesome, but, IMO, it seems you pay for the name. G.SKILL's are rated excellent and you can get the same speed and timings for a lot less.

Are you doing any overclocking?

Are you partial to that Level 10 case or would you be considering to change it per the other parts? What's your case budget?
