Looks pretty good man, very solid, but I'll make some suggestions that are purely optional, mostly leaning towards overclocking.

If you're in to any sort of overclocking, or interested in the future, you may want to pick up the i5-3570k processor, and MSI's 7970 video card. The "k" processor is unlocked so you can push it as far as you can cool it, and MSI's 7970 is much better with its overclocking ability than Gigabyte. Speaking of cooling, if you wanted a better heatsink, check out the "Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO" cooler, or if you wanted to try water cooling, you can't go wrong with the "H" series from Corsair like the "H80i" for instance. Also, the Samsung 830 is blazing fast, but the new Samsung 840 Pros have 90k IOPS for both random read and random write, but there's only about 50Mbp/s improvement in basic write speeds.

Don't forget to order a wireless card if you're not gonna be hard-wired. ;)

Looks, great man. Like DJmaxus had said you will need a wifi card, I Recomend Ethernet though. Not if you plan on over clocking you will need the K skew processor. You will also need a motherboard that has a good enough VRM for the power needed. Cooling is also an issue with OC so I recomend at minumum a VERY good air cooler, I have a noctua on my PC and have it 3.9GHz (i7 3770k) but any higher clock speed I would need sothing bettter (Liquid Cooler) I quite like Cooler master for them although Corsair is my second choice. For around the same price you can get a better SSD, although that one is very nice (Much better than my Adata one). Power supply looks good does not get better than corsiar (If it is your first build I recomend a modular power supply it makes it much easier). as for everything else awesome man have fun with it.

Similar to my PC build I did at the start of the year.

My spec was:

**CPU:** Intel Core i5-3570k 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
**Motherboard:** Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H
**Memory:** G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
**Storage:** OCZ 128GB SSD

**Storage:** Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
**Video Card:** Nvidia GeForce GTX480 1.5GB (Free) 
**Case:** Corsair Carbide 200R

**Power Supply:** Corsair TX650 (Free)
**Optical Drive:** LiteOn DVDRW

It absolutely flies. So I expect yours will as well :)

My only suggestion would be:

If you want to save some money, check out the 200R case. It still has front mounted USB 3.0 ports and is almost identical size I believe.
