All around pretty solid choice of parts, the corsair 550D has a nice clean look to it.
 
Always get a lot of "personal opinion" on these things....

Looks like a very solid build and that H100i will give you plenty of cooling for your OC...excellent SSD choice.

My only real "opinion" (and thats all it is) is with the GPU. I personally do not like reference cooled GPU's as they sound a lot like little helicopters trapped in my case. EVGA makes solid cards, dont get me wrong, just know that you will know its there when you are playing....get some good headphones and crank the volume ;)
