I was talking about putting HDDs in a raid setup, not SSDs.
Given the huge increase in prices of standard mechanical drives, the SSDs are a great option. The price keeps coming down as the storage space increases, and they have been on the market long enough to eliminate most bugs.
SSD are the future, and I will surely have one for my next computer.

The memory you selected is quad channel, but the two motherboards only support dual channel. You need LGA 2011 motherboard and processor to go with that memory, or use dual channel memory instead.
You only need a non-stock CPU fan if you are going to overclock. -$100
That case is way too expensive imo, especially since you will only be using 1 Video card. -$200
1050 Watt PSU is way way too much, the GTX 680 which is amazing is also very power efficient. Under full load its only going to use 250 watts, and your CPU will only use about another 100 watts. A good 500 watt PSU would work fine. -$150
Video card - Given your budget, GTX 680 hands down. The most important thing in gaming is the video card. The money you save from the above waste alone would be enough to buy the card.
Though Ivy bridge is so close, and Diablo so far away that you might just be better off waiting.
Ivy Bridge is the codename for Intel's 22 nmdie shrink of the Sandy Bridgemicroarchitecture based on tri-gate ("3D") transistors. Ivy Bridge processors will be backwards-compatible with the Sandy Bridge platform, but might require a firmware update (vendor specific),[1][2]. Intel will release new 7-series Panther Pointchipsets with integrated USB 3.0 to complement Ivy Bridge.[3]
Intel announced that it had begun volume production of Ivy Bridge chips in the third quarter of 2011[4], and sources are specifying the 29th of April 2012 as the availability date.[5]
