Before I click "place order" please double check this build

[..]

So I think I've finally decided on all the parts for my new build. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Ignore the 500GB HDD on the list, it's for a different computer. I already have HDDs.

GA-Z77X-D3H does support crossire and sli at x8+x8

single card will be pci 3.0, xfire/sli will be 2.0, but thas only about a 5% difference

Looking like a great build, I wonder Why that case ? If it's because of all the inclued fans, included fans are sometimes noisy so you'd end up buying more fans anyway.... All and all looking like a nice monster rig though, and glad to see you wnet with a bit more power.
Oh, and an optical mouse ? I found with my latest rig a low end laser mouse beat my logitech 518 gamer.....

I currently use a G400 and have become really comfortable with it, so I'm going to stick with them. As far as the case, I currently have one of the cheaper Rosewill cases and I really like it. The Blackhawk seems to offer a ton of value for the cost.

[yeeyoh]

right on, all and all I can't see going wrong with what you have picked there.

if you want some awesome case fans, cm r4 120mm 1200rpm fans are on sale
4pack is $15 and $5 rebate

extremely quiet 20db and move a good amount of air 45cfm

not good rad fans, but excellent for case vents

I hope I'm not too late but I would like to give a advice. If you want two PCIe 3.0, that would be GA-Z77X-UD3H or GA-Z77X-UD5H. They're fastest in SLI or Crossfire with X16 + X8. UD3H cost 5 dollar more. All of hardware on your list aren't bad.

Not really interested in a multi GPU setup, but thank you for the input!

NP. Motherboard with single PCI 3.0 should be good choose for you then.

I haven't heard great things about the reliability of the Vertex 3 line (or Sandforce-based drives in general), although maybe the Max IOPS version is cut from a different cloth?

$90 is a good and tempting price (which I'd currently define as anything under $0.80/GB), although it might be better to wait for the more well-reviewed models like the Samsung 840 Pro, Plextor M5, OCZ Vector, or Crucial m4 (due to be replaced in a couple months by the m500) to reach a similar price point.
