Looks good to me. Basically what I'm building for my next gaming rig but going with dual video cards and AMD cpu.

The video card is pretty good, if your really lacking gfx stick another one in lol

what are you running for a PSU? gunna need over 1500watts with that setup. Intel advertises one wattage but typically takes a lot more. and go liquid cooling if you can. get the heat from the CPU out of the case. otherwise it will cook your cards. Air to Fin Cooling is Sub par 5 years ago.
