Case: Good case, expensive though. It's also more meant for watercooling. (could save $80 here with something like the HAF-X)
CPU: Excellent choice...Best CPU for price/performance. Though Ivy Bridge is literally around the courner...
MB: Looks good to me
PSU: That PSU is overkill for just 1 card and even overkill for most 2-cards configurations. (could save $40 with an 850w)
Memory: Why 16 GB? (could save $40 with 8GB)
SSD/HDD: Pretty standard, looks fine
Optical Drive: Again, standard...I never buy Bluray discs, but it's "future proofing" I suppose. (could save $50 here with a DVD drive)
All that said, I'm just penny pinching here. Everything you have listed are great choices if you're trying to extend the life of your computer as long as possible.
If you're willing to spend the extra money for a little bit of "future proofing" (nothing is ever future proofed when it comes to computers), then by all means, go for it
PS: Any reason you can't wait for Ivy Bridge to be released?
